Hi, maybe this is of interest.
I wanted a standalone flatscreen microscope for SMD work, and made one out of an old VGA PC monitor and a couple of cheap ebay items.

I know you can buy cheap USB "microscopes" that plug into a PC, but I made this one more for convenient workshop use and personally I hate having to tie up a PC by having a tool plugged into it.
