Microscopy With A Film Scanner
NickFitz writes "If you've got a film scanner lying around, this site shows you how to use it as a microscope. "Your monitor displays images at about 70-90 dpi, so taking the example of my Mac monitor at about 75 dpi, we get a magnification of 4000/75 which is about x53. It's not a lot and isn't going to show the likes of blood cells, but it should give an interesting view of small transparent objects." Did you know that bees wings are hairy?"

The ten people here who have 4000 dpi film (not flatbed) scanners will be relieved to hear that they don't violate the laws of optics. Hmm, I wonder how much SCOX rose while I was reading this?
If you were blocking sigs, you wouldn't have to read this.

Nothing is real and nothing to get hung about.
Strawberry Fields forever.
Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see.
It's getting hard to be someone but it all works out, it doesn't matter much to me.

No one I think is in my tree, I mean it must be high or low.
That is you can't you know tune in but it's all right, that is I think it's not too bad.

Always, no sometimes, think it's me, but you know I know when it's a dream.
I think I know I mean a 'Yes' but it's all wrong, that is I think I disagree.

Did you know that womens' armpits are also hairy, it's just that most women shave them so you can't tell?
.... small penis joke.
Does anyone know where to buy the tiny flourescent bulbs used in those film scanners? Mine has burned out.
