It comes in handy when looking for lost sliders. :lol:

Clever, Larry, very clever.

Jared, you threw me for a loop--you quoted the link I put up for my microscope.

I have to wonder how adding "Multi-function Tube: gynaecology self-checking, haemorrhoids-checking" helps with sales...

You're right, I've corrected all the above posts to correctly reflect that it's Larry's Haemorrhoid microscope. :D

Correct me if I'm wrong, but those actually look like gold wires in the first picture. No wonder 6Gb was so expensive back then.

Here's a case I'm evaluating right now. I thought the filter looked a bit discolored. Now looking at the sliders I can see just how contaminated they are. Probably not a good candidate for donor heads. I suspect they'll just die in a few seconds.

They look a lot like head 1 of the Samsung ST2000LM003 I'm working on...

Currently frustrated at trying to disable that head, as the others look fine. :(

We have a big microscope, and a little USB microscope, but I find they can be pretty annoying to line up with the heads and focus in a reasonable amount of time. In a pinch, the "magnifier" mode on iPhone works pretty well (though, nowhere near as good as a real microscope). I may get a tripod and see if I can get better results. It's really good for looking at PCB chips. Settings --> General --> Accessibility --> Vision --> Magnifier (then triple click home button).

This is looking into our little dental mirror to see "bottom" heads.

I wonder if something like this https://www.amazon.com/Neewer-Microscop ... microscope would make "Magnifier" perfect.
