<p>[QUOTE=&quot;yakpoo, post: 1562358, member: 18157&quot;]Hi All,</p><p><br /></p><p>Ever since I saw the Dino-Lite digital USB microscope demo at the Baltimore Coin Show I&#039;ve wanted one. The problem is that I&#039;m incredibly cheap and didn&#039;t want to pay hundreds of dollars for something I didn&#039;t know if I would like (long term). </p><p><br /></p><p>The other day I was poking around Amazon.com and came across <i><b><a href="http://www.amazon.com/GSI-High-Definition-Scientific-Microscope-Microscopic/dp/B003BLTX62/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.amazon.com/GSI-High-Definition-Scientific-Microscope-Microscopic/dp/B003BLTX62/ref=pd_sxp_f_pt" rel="nofollow">a cheap (inexpensive) Chinese knockoff for $34</a></b></i>. I decided that it was time to risk throwing away some money to have a &quot;digital USB microscope experience&quot; (good or bad).</p><p><br /></p><p>The package arrived in the mail a couple of days ago and I finally got up enough courage to mess with it tonight. It took a while to understand the broken English and to get the right drivers installed for my Windows-7 laptop. I grabbed a 2010 cent from my coin jar (below) and find that it takes some pretty nice pictures (takes video, too)...fyi.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even without taking pictures, I find it&#039;s a very easy way to see details on my computer that are difficult to see with a loupe. :thumb:</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i664.photobucket.com/albums/vv10/Yakpoo/2010-Obv.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /><img src="http://i664.photobucket.com/albums/vv10/Yakpoo/2010-Rev.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
