Are you sure about that 2500x magnification? That's pretty high for a conventional light microscope -

@humfrz, what makes a "nice one"? Which aspect differentiates a "nice" one and "not" so nice one?

Maybe he is going to do sperm counts? -

A "nice" microscope look perty. A "not" nice one does not look perty.

Must be why we didn't see pics of it.

Yeah the big lens is 100x and I have 25x opticals (and 10x ones as well). So 25 x 100 is 2500x. The 100x lens does require using a special oil so that's why I haven't gone that far yet but they did include a little of it.

The National Geographic channel ran old Car Sosidge episodes all day yesterday.

They had Septic subtitles. Cute.

Motortrend streaming service has Speed Racer. I've been reliving my childhood.

Is there anything else worth watching on the service? I would hate to buy another monthly service just for Speed Racer.

I watched it in re-runs on channel 44 as a kid. I was a little too young when it first came out. Loved it.

Every episode of Top Gear, and pretty much every other show that has been on Velocity/Speed/Motortrend channel.

I got it when they were offering a really cheap $2 a month for two year deal on it. It will eventually have the new Top Gear USA if they can ever manage to produce it.

You can get a 7 day free trial if all you want to do is watch through th 50 episodes of Speed Racer.

https://www.motortrendondemand.com and you can see the shows listed. Pretty decent stuff if you want to binge watch car shows really.

?

What if I told you Hakone was actually an older Subaru color sold on the 2000's Impreaza TS? Subaru's British Racing Green Metallic Effect.

What if I told you it doesn't even have green pigment in the paint? :P

10g Green Pearl, 5g Gold Pearl, 100g Dark Ocean Blue, 60g Blue Shade Black, 56g GS Yellow, 8g Russet Red, 4g Ice White and then an Effect Additive and Clear Binder.
