    ROTFLMAO....

    Alive! Its ALIVE!! Ah ha ha ha!!! So.. Again. The Wife ( I like to call her the Bear.. ) Is Snoring away.. ALL NIGHT!! So I had plenty of awake time to finish my experiment.. Please note.. The Whole cost was .. FREE. All items were things I had in Junk around the house and in my kids room..(Thanks Syd! )

    What we have here is a Digital USB Microscope.. It has 100x-200x-400x Zoom.. It also has the Zoom of the Program on the Computer.. It also has Three LED lights that are Powered on and off by the button on back..

    Here is my Plan.. This was a test.. NOTHING MORE..
    I see Nice ones can cost me 300 to 3000 bucks!!
    Well I bet I can make a nice one for under $100.00.. So testing this as Design..

    Please note... The Microscope I ma using is a Kids Toy.. All Plastic .. LENS and ALL... The Camera is a three dollar Kids toy also.. ( Sorry Syd! )

    I know I can buy one.. But this was fun and it was this or cover her head with a Pillow.. FIRMLY..

    She just woke as I giggled and said "You and Your coin geeks are jerks..."
    LOL...

    I think It can get a better shot with more work.. But think I will start looking for items to make the "real" One.. This was just a Model.. But it will work... !!
