I lashed out on a handheld digital microscope which I just received today. For less than $160 I thought there couldn't be too much risk in it. I plan to use it for failure analysis inspections where maybe a macro photo just doesn't cut it. I've attached my first 2 images through it - single frames, unprocessed apart from being saved for the web.
Should be a fun little toy to play with in it's own right.
