From my wife for my B-Day!

You should hold on to her tight since she is supportive of your nerdiness

Nice pics, what kinda microscope is it?

 

[Kcar]

It's a Veho USB Microscope from amazon for $99
I'm lovin it.

Megas: Yes, I concur. She's hot too.

damn thats nice how many mp?

 

[exploziv]

1.3 MP (CMOS) / 2 MP interpolated

& could be also used as webcam.

Great device!

Had been woundering how those worked, looks pretty damn good!

What's the magnification on that scope? I saw the 420 scope being advertized and that can do 20x up to 200x. I think it was a little more expensive however. It hooked up with usb though so it should be easy.

 

[exploziv]

20-400x

 

[mrred]

you should do a timelapse of a trichome matureing

 

[REZDOG]

the 420 Scope is a re-labeled Veho.
Fwiw.

Nice shots!

 

[exploziv]

the 420 Scope is a re-labeled Veho.
Fwiw.

I don't see how a 420 optical 60-100x scope can be same product as Veho digital 400x USB scope.
From my searches I didn't found a non-digital Veho or a digital 420 scope.. Which part do I miss?

 

[Kcar]

It's from the digital one. I had to really size them down to upload them.
How do you upload bigger pics? I've seen many others.
I was thinking about doing some common bug close-ups. Yum.

IMHO anything over 100x is pretty useless. Unfortunately thats as low as my BioniCam will go. The RS scope does 60X, a much better resolution but, requires removing samples from the garden for inspection. I've always suspected 30X would be ideal. Close enough to see, far away enough to view a field rather than a few individual heads.

I got this one with integrated LEDs on the camera lens. Pretty nice. I think it was like 200 bucks, can't remember. I don't use it that often though. Its just stored away for each harvest...

Check my avatar,what you think?

I need to practice on zooming some more but the LED's make those trichomes shine like diamonds! which is pretty cool.

Peace

 

[Mr. Freeman]

What? Guess my avatar sucks...lol

Veho makes many models,the 420 Scope is bespoke to 420Scopes Co.
I did a shit-pile of research,and in the end I decided that if I bought one-and I haven't-that the 420 scope was the best value-it was about $100,I think.
And fwiw,I agreee-a "400x" 'scope is,generally worthless,unless you get a pro-model,big-$ 'scope.



Ciao!

That's a nice scope X.
Here's a couple pics I took using an Eyeclops Bionicam. (Under $100) www.eyeclops.com
It has 100, 200 & 400x magnification.
I agree that it is pretty hard to take pics and keep them focused.
However, even though my shaky-ass hand can't hold it still for the actual "click" of the cam, it is very easy to observe the triches.
