Some detail about the microscope I was raving about on the general thread.

the unit in action: the subject at 100%(no magnification): the subject at 200%:

#2 Re: usb microscope
the previous shots were snaps at screen resolution 1280x1024
The magnification in that mode goes to 400%
from the calibration acetate supplied with the gizmo at 100%(no magnification): and another portion of the acetate:

Is that true magnification at 200% or just scaled up Ed?

No idea Neal, does it matter at £13?
the interface is thus, I just moved the bar until it read 200.....

Sure does if you are intending to use it to inspect a stylus

Thanks for the link, Ed. As Neal said. I’m not sure this is up to a suitable standard for inspecting/recording an image of a stylus. Your 200% image is starting to blur the edges. My interest was because I have a quality cartridge for sale and quality images would help a sales advert. I have no doubt that it will be adequate for your own surface mount component attention need.
#7 Re: usb microscope
No worries Greg...without a cartridge to check I'm not very much help, and I've no idea how big a stylus is. I would guess it's not much use for that job if you think the 100 micron is a bit blurred.
For completeness, here is the board I bought it for. The images are at 1600x1200 and more or less fill the 24" monitor screen.
100%(no zoom)
and 200%

Looks ideal for most things, but agree not quite for stylus. Thanks Ed.

I bought an optical zoom usb microscope ages ago, this is 40x to around a 1000x zoom
Depth of field is so shallow its really difficult to get good focus

EBay essentially one of these but x40~x1000, now they are up to x1600, can’t vouch for the quality

For stylus inspection I wonder how good this would be?
