I've got one of those microscopes. They're ace. But I spose that's not really the point of the article. But still, they are ace.

I'd like to get one of those microscopes.

What would you get pictures of? It might turn out to be a good thing you don't have one.

Well, I collect fossils and uniform buttons so it would come in handy for examining microfossils and backmarks and other small details. I could also see using it to inspect circuit boards.

Of course we all know that I would also use it to look at bugs and tortillas (looking for a tiny baby Jesus).

A USB telescope would be cool too.

Would it not be more fun to collect ones that were different shapes and sizes?

Buttons the size of a coat? PHOTOS!

Buttons sized for coats.
