Re: Neat accessories

Jeremy, I use the VEOH VMS-004. It’s cheap and kind of hard to focus, But it works great for my purposes.

Here is a picture of a .7mm pencil lead at the 400x setting.

And a picture of my delica after the 1 micron strops.

Just the tiniest little burr there. the white thing is a bit of paper towel lint.

Those pictures look familiar… 😉

+1 on the Veho 400x. All of the microscope progressions on my blog are photographed with the Veho. You can put the whole thing up against the WEPS clamp – the scope can be a little wobbly, but with a little practice, it’s not so difficult to do.I usually employ my daughter to push the camera button on the computer, although you can also take shots directly with a button on the scope.

For normal use out of the WEPS clamp without picture taking abilities, I use the Lumax 100x, which is a kids microscope for about $20.00 it works great. I just remove the slide clamps from the microscope’s base.

In the WEPS clamp, a small loop with a light source is probably the best. IMO, 10x is minimum, but I like to go as high as I can with magnification. – Oh, and don’t cut your nose off when checking the edge!
