I think I just found my first doubled die!

Indeed! And along the same lines as Seattlite's post, certain old camera lenses can also be reversed, held in front of whatever camera or phone, and used to magnify. Point is there are many ways/tricks that can be used to improve images that done involve buying a new camera/setup or cost an arm and a leg.

 

If you need a microscope to see some slight doubling, what's the point?
