Heather bought me one of these for xmas. Incredible. Load prog in laptop, and tiny screw becomes the size of a pencil. Worth a look for us senior members.

They look interesting John.

Fascinating. I put a tiny tiny screw on a piece of paper, and it became the size of a pencil. So, for servicing N or z gauge, at least, i will be able to see what to undo. It also takes screen captures, so you can undo a bit, photo it etc, for rebuilding. Looks fun.

You can get a different one for use with Ipads, as i know you have ab Apple machine. Mine is Windows. it brings a dogs hair up to the size of a Power cable. Needs the Free Stand, they offer, or simply buy the stand. Cant get them to supply free stand at the moment.

Was there a link in your first post John?

It's ok just Googled - Bysameyee USB Microscope

[yelrow]

Its the link showing Free Stand, Barry., www,bysameyee.com/microscope. Have no reply refree stand, but think it needs one if you were using simply to look at insects, etc. Heather bought it, as a hand held help for me. Comes with diddy mount stand , so not rocket science to use that. Software download, gives full screen picture. Of object, plus immediate capture. Second download gives full measuring facility. I think its a steal, for the money.
