What can you see with a "Digital Microscope"? => 15 photos

 I've been using a 'Digital Microscope' for many years, and the sights are just unbelievable. I can make the 'teeth of a steel file' resemble the shores of the Niagara River. 

 My digital microscope is a piece of modern technology. I'll be showing how our tools really appear; the power of this viewing can reach 600x (or more) magnification.

 This stone is 0.50 carats in size, and you can even see that the claw on the right isn't even touching the stone.

 This saw blade has a #4/0 cut, as it looks just like the teeth of a Dinosaur.

 The fine engraving was a photo of one of my gravers.

 No, these are not 'stars at night', but of #2/0 grit emery paper.

  These are the teeth of a #2/0 grit file taken at 600x power viewing.

  This is a "Medium" grit (Snap-On) Emery wheel.

 This is the same wheel, taken at maximum 600x magnification.

 This is a genuine diamond before any intensive faceting was started. The metal claw is holding the stone while it is being carefully "Faceted".

 BTW, this stone has been in our family since 1927, when my Father learned his Diamond Polishing craft on it in Antwerp.

 These photos are of a "Medium" grit teeth on a file; you can still see the metal residue remaining between the teeth.

  This 0.50 carat just had the preliminary facets formed.

 You are now looking at a 0.50-carat 'test diamond' that every diamond polisher learns how to familiarise themselves with. 

 This triangular diamond still shows the natural facets on its surface. (These features look just like a mountain).

 What you are looking at is an "Industrial Diamond" just after it was taken out of the Earth. These diamonds are not for jewellery, but only for industrial purposes.

  This photo displays some of the workings of a battery-driven watch.
