    I picked up a microscope (old brass one from a school) from the local free-adds, the chap even brought it round to my house, it comes in handy even today i had a practice blade that really showed to me the difference that 10 laps of chromium oxide make to the edge its a pity that the pitting runs so close to the edge and is so deep as to make the razor un-usable

    You can pick up the 30x eye loupe from Harbor Freight tools and they also have several other magnification tools in various powers and sizes

    I picked one of this up cheep on ebay, its got great resolution.

    Just kidding, I wish. I just use a camera lens that I turn backward. You would be surprised at how nice of a magnification you can get.
