Microscopic Fun

Looking at a PICO with a Pi

I’ve been playing with digital microscopes. These are kids toys which are surprisingly advanced for cheap, disposable devices. You can get handheld ones or ones with stands. They have lcd screens, can take pictures onto a MicroSD card and you can even plug them into a computer and display their output on the big screen. If you want something that gives you a close-up view for a surprisingly small outlay search your favourite sellers for “coin microscope”.
