    Can anyone make recommendations on digital microscopes used for viewing a razors edge?

    I know nothing about digital microscopes, but Radi8o Shack has an absolute little dandy that has a 100x power and does the job quite well. Only for about 13$.

    I've got the little radio shack wonder but most time my 3x jewelers monocle is my go to tool.

    The radio shack scopes are a bit limited, they have the 100x bnut the light they get in is very little and that makes viewing the bevel a bit challenging.

    beat the RS easy. the 30x is not that different then the claimed 100x , but it gets a lot more light in and allows for very good viewing of the bevels.
