An interesting look at everyday things.
I bought a cheap USB powered Microscope and then started exploring. Some of the images were very unexpected so I thought I would post a few.

Straight out of Jos Weyers' big bag of Lockpicking and Key Impressioning tricks. These are the kind of tools he uses to break world records with.
This picture was taken at the request of Deviant Ollam and might make it into his upcoming book on Lockpicking techniques.

This microscope is a rare artifact for this period in Canadian history having been used by a woman amateur naturalist in the colonies, while accompanying her husband on his surveying and military missions. It is a portable microscope used by Caroline Bucknall Estcourt (1809-1886) (born Caroline Pole Carew), wife of a British officer, James Bucknall Bucknall Estcourt (1802-1855). Bucknall Escourt was posted to the Canadian colonies in the 1830s and 1840s. Caroline was an amateur naturalist of some note and a painter. Some of her graphic collections are preserved at the Library and Archives Canada including portraits, sporting scenes, landscapes and her journal.
It is also a significant microscope from 1843, incorporating one of the earliest commercial, portable achromatic lens systems (serial no. 68) made by the well-known instrument maker, Andrew Ross of London. Because of its colourful provenance and technical significance, it is one the most important optical microscopes in the collection.
