I don’t have anything useful to say other than damn I love SEM movies!
I bought a Celestron USB microscope. It was fascinating to look at my skin, nails, desk surface, carpet, anything. Well, at least for the 15 minutes before the device failed. I returned it and never bought a replacement. :-(
Has anyone had luck with a toy-ish microscope in the $200 range?
- kardos 4y agoI picked up a Carson MicroBrite Plus for the same purpose -- looking at clothes/newsprint/etc and it works pretty well. It claims to do 60-120x magnification. No easy way to capture the images but it makes for a good toy. Would be interested in a recommendation for something with higher magnification
