1st attempt at micro pics....

It's all Dave's (entropydave) fault!
He posted some pics a few days ago taken on his new 'Veho' USB microscope.
Got one today myself and here's my efforts, hope you like 'em:





and finally caught sight of this little evasive bugger!


Cheers - Neil.

, well Buz somehow I don't quite believe you .
I can't really take any credit for these pics as it's the microscope that makes it idiot proof (I'm proof of this!).
It's great toy for looking at watch dials, the condition of hands etc....

Nice work

The black paint looks to be a very high quality enamel.

That is cool to have a microscope picture. I used to do that when working in the lab and was taking pictures of slides....
