Hey, Ted. Mine is an older model Bausch & Lombe used primarily for inspection of electronics soldering. It has a circular flourescent bulb for lighting the subject and the view is thru the middle of this ring. I can make a small tomatillo seed look like it's the size of a baking potato and count the little "hairs" on any seed, but I can't take a picture with it ----YET. I'm thinking I might try to work with one of those small web-cams and see if I can get the focus. I may have to put my woodworking skills to use and build an interfacing mount of sorts to hold things steady.

Anyhow, I want you first to know how happy I am to have found those damaged seeds. I would also commend you for your complete and immediate concern for the recipients of your seeds. In my book, you're truly a "class act".

Take care.

The other Ted
