Use for old eye-pieces

[Tantalus]

Did you know that if you invert an old eye-piece(look through the wrong end) that it's works as an eye-loupe?

If you connect one to a webcam, you've got a USB microscope!

Haven't tried this myself yet - just thought i'd throw it in...

That's tantalising, Tantalus!

Thats better than dismantling them and using the parts for something else I suppose! I usually strip off the 1.25" tube for other uses.

On this thought, I bought a microscope from FLO for my kids, its a really nice one. It's easy to get pictures out of it too. just by holding a webcam to the eyepiece.
