yep, its thumbgum on a casino chip....

I got a slick little digital microscope and it takes some pretty nice closeup pictures. Not bad for ~$30 off ebay.

- chip at 10x

- center at 10x

200x - notice the dimples

i can barely feel them on the chip...

- dimples @ 60x

pretty cool pix

YOU BEAT ME TO IT!

I was trying for weeks to get a bottom basement bargain on one of the Intel USB microscopes, and I was going to surprise everyone with closeups of satin/linen/clay finishes. I completely forgot about it when I couldn't snipe one at my happy price ceiling. $30 is a great price.

Yeah, its the Intel QX3. pretty slick! I actually bought it for my kids and I am having more fun with it than they are.

You shouldnt have a hard time grabbing one for ~$30 they are all over ebay.
