Oh. my. gawd. USB microscopes......2.0MP High Definition USB Digital Microscope (200x, 4 LEDs) No wonder the geeks are so attached to their gadgets!

The second has links to two other cleaning threads. I guess we're neatfreaks here. Smile

I have no idea how ebay sellers do it or if they even make money, but a similar 2.0mp with 8 leds and 25-400X is $40.85 delivered to Australia !

I might get one of these as well Smile I might eventually end up knowing something Smile

Thanks Eric. The only downside to all this really closeup viewing is finding defects. However, in the case of verdigris, neatness is not the factor in question, it is catching a problem that could lead to permanent damage to the award so the sooner I can catch it, the happier I am.Smile

We may end up with a section (or group of threads at least) just for cool devices that only a few people know about but could benefit many of the folks here. Anything allowing for really clear magnified images of any awards is of use to everyone (in my opinion at least) and everytime I check out one of these links others are posting I find myself just browsing through the items for sale for way longer than I have time for.Wink

The bottom line is I am thrilled at the notion of being able to get quality tight images for the rest of the forum members which I think will help make spotting fakes easier for us all.:thumbsup
