There are lots of USB scopes available. What you want to look for is 5 mp and 200X or more optical magnification. Pay no attention to digital zoom. That's the same as zooming in on an image using a computer.
It's a bit fussy to use as far as getting the lighting right and focus. Steel is difficult to photograph because there are all sorts of reflection issues.
We were ready to pull the trigger and ordered the Celestron - thanks for the recommendation. Nothing but success thus far.
Have you done measurements in degrees in ref to cutting edges - beveled and or convex?
Would you please open a thread in ref to UBS microscopes?
Another Exchange member order said microscope today.

We pulled the trigger last week and purchased the Celestron microscope - very happy with it's performance.
Sent an image of a Warther kitchen knife's edge to another Exchange member, and he pulled his trigger today and purchased a Celestron.
