For years, I've wanted a ProScope digital (USB) microscope. The ProScope is… well, just take a look at some of tonight's snapshots at 200x magnification. Any requests? I've got a 30x and 50x lens as well, each one self-illuminating. My first microscope was probably worth thirty bucks, while the ProScope is worth… about 200x that. When was the last time you peered into a microscope? The ProScope is pretty much the only “professional” digital microscope that I've ever found. I've had it on my personal wish list forever, and my fiancee finally welcomed it into our home. She got the complete ProScope kit for me, thankfully. I'm gonna have to take it with me when I go to parties. In XP, all you need is to install a simple driver from the CD and it automatically becomes a TWAIN device (easily accessible via the Explorer). Haven't seen the ProScope? No need – just keep your eye on what I'm using it on. One word for that hangnail: YUCK! Dude, the ProScope rules.
