Cj, Jo and Richard gave me an electronic microscope for my birthday. It is a Veho Discovery VMS-004 USB microscope to be precise. I loaded the software and checked that it worked (all absolutely simple and straightforward) just after my birthday but what with being away and so on it's only tonight that I've at long last decided that I would have a proper play with it.
To say that I'm delighted with it would be a gross understatement.
Here are the first images that I took just to see what it is capable of achieving.

| The 'white' screen on my iPhone |

| The surface of the microchip on my bank card |
 |
| A corner of one of the numbers on my bank carte |
 |
| The tip of the nib of a fountain pen |
 |
| A floret (or whatever it is called) from the flower of an Alchemilla (Ladies Mantle) |
 |
| The carpel or stamen |
 |
| The other bit! |
I can see a whole new world opening up for me. Thanks CJ, Jo and Richard!
