Homebrew PCBs

Nope, no pixellation, just magnification under a microscope instead of
software zooming.  Optical means using lenses like in older cameras (think
of a telescope), digital is image processing like on current electronic
cameras (this process fills in blanks).

The image may seem a little off 'cause I just plopped the paper on the
platform.  You can see the right side is slightly out of focus 'cause it is
not at the same distance as the left (slight wave to the paper).   I could
have sandwiched it between glass plates, but I'm lazy.

I have a camera mounted on a 3rd eyepiece on the top of the microscope and
it films the view that I see through the 2 front-mounted eyepieces.  I take
snap shots of the views I want directly from the PC.  The camera is probably
only 600dpi, but it does not do any modification to the image.

I can even show you what a flea had for supper with this thing.  Search for
microscopes on EBay, 3 eyepieces - 10x-1600x, good deals for cheap people
like me.

It looks pixellated. That's what I'm going on. What do you mean by "optical
camera"? Digital camera? What is it's native resolution?
