    Default Cool magnafication device

    I found this in a store this weekend and thought it was too cool to pass up.
    It is a tv microscope and they also make a video camera microscope that goes to 400X. I thought this would be better than buying an expensive scope
    There is also a video commercial on the site as well.

    Hehe, that's pretty creepy looking

    But if you want a stable scope at high magnification, I would try THIS out.

    This one is zoom-able from 20x-400x, and has a nice stand. Pretty good price for a 400x USB scope as well I have it on my Amazon wishlist, so maybe someone will get it for me for my bday or the holidays coming up

    PS: I've read good reviews on it as well, which is a big plus.

    Well there are a number of you tube reviews on this and it seems to be a good alternative. Some one said they saw one in Walmart on sale for $25.00 for that price it may be worth while to check out. You can hold it down on the subject and it is steady.

    Default Yep, they work.

    My girlfriends little sister had one of these and I was playing with it. I'm not sure what the magnification was, but you could see the individual denim fibers in my jeans and the "fuzzies" coming off of them. I have yet to try it out on my straight though
