Deker - this is what real surgery photos look like

[Stacy E. Apelt - Bladesmith]

I had some surgery today. I had a large cyst removed from my back. I thought it would be a good subject for my new microscope camera. The cyst is about .5X.75".
All you blood and gore types....enjoy.

Seriously, hope all is well.

The camera is a Dino-Lite digital microscope. 1.3MP manual zoom with electronic zoom as well. One touch capture function. Plugs into the USB. complete with software.
Mine came with a base that racks up and down for taking micro closeups, but they are designed to be used hand held.
They are used for gemological measurements,jewelry photos, eye photography, medical photography, macro nature photography, and are a favorite of stamp and coin folks.
They run from as low as $140 to $500.

Nice. I wonder if you dried it out and stabilized it, then polished it up... would it make a good pommel?
