I don`t wear my glasses when I detect and yesterday I got this little one, and at first glance I thought it was a piece of steel.   Good thing I turned it over and looked at the other side. ?

Not real big, maybe a 0.3 if I`m lucky ?

It's a USB microscope, so it connects directly to your computer and stores the photo on the computer, I've got one too, they're pretty cool...

Thanks Simon , will be very useful toy for me . Particularly as I do a lot of goldfield results to mates by texting with pics .

Cheers

hey goldrat

yeh what Phrunt said, you plug the usb into the computer (I have no idea what a smart phone might be), when you take the photo it saves a jpeg file to your computer, easy peezy lemon squeesy.  PM me if you would like me to show you. Dave

Depending on the operating system you are using you might have to install a very small capture software called AMCAP. My Windows 10 mainframe just detects the camera when I plug the scope in, but with AMCAP I just took this photo on my old as the hills Vista laptop. I can give you AMCAP if you need it, but I don`t suppose many people are running Vista Laptops these days.  ☺️
