Cell Phone Pocket Microscope 70% OFF for Microbiology Day (ends in a few hours!)

https://www.koleid.com/products/ppm

$29.95 for 9 more hours as of 11:00 AM today (so if my math is right, ends at 8:00 PM Central today)

Of course, Amazon has some much cheaper… I didn’t look at side by side specs… Honestly, I just thought the video was neat on the first link so shared it… THEN checked Amazon (which I pretty much always do before making a purchase - LOL!)

Here’s a couple under 10 bucks on Amazon:

I won’t take all the fun away from y’all by doing any additional research on it… (I’m not going to be buying one either way; but, the video… it was purdy! hehe… :wink: :slight_smile: )

I have actually been wondering about this. I want to take pictures of cracked solder joints on boards as well as component part numbers.

You should totally check out what David Guill has been working on. He’s got a nice dslr camera rigged to a stand in a way that he can focus on things just like that!


That’s a kewl idea! I had read about it (or something like it?) a few months ago. I didn’t realize that you could pair it with a phone if you wanted to… Kewlness :smiley:

So I bought this one a couple days ago on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00QA71BB4/ref=yo_ii_img?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I’m thinking it may work for what I am wanting it to do. My buddy at work thinks I’m nuts. He just says just replace the board & let the factory find the issue. Problem is our factory doesn’t always look at the warranty returns. Here is a pic of a small chip on motherboard un-related to work.
