usb microscope 50x-500x, 8 built in led spotlights, manual focus, will shoot video as avi as well as snapshots. pretty basic but REALLY inexpensive, 12 bucks with free shipping. just got it installed, will be playing with this to see what it can do, but i think this will be more than sufficient for what i am going to use it for...

Hi,

Can't beat that price!

I assume the zoom is digital, not optical, so you will lose resolution as you zoom in. Its really just a fixed 50X optical scope. Do you know if the full driver allows for a video overlay? This would be great as you could develop a calibrated software reticle that would allow you to measure the groove width. Otherwise, you could make one that was printed on a clear overlay for your monitor since it is going to be fixed.

the scope comes with a microscope micrometer calibration ruler with full reticul and calibration lines all metric of course but provides measurement of 0.03, 0.05, 0.07, 0.1 and 0.2, 40mm scale, round particle measuring, and a grid. this is a pretty basic scope but resolution is pretty good considering the cost, as i said it is almost disposable, no glitches yet, seems to work well, worth the 12 bucks...

Hey victrola guy! Looking at getting one of these soon, what is the handy scissor arm you've got it mounted on? Looks perfect in that the height and thus magnification stays constant.

Thanks in advance!

awesome! I was wondering how I was going to measure the distance between my grooves. my not be perfect, but it's cheap.
