    Microscope Fun

    I was going to mow my lawn, but it started raining, so i decided to pull my USB microscope out of storage and take some shots of towels etc.. for your entertainment:




    A )Cheapie all purpose MF towel("Quickie" brand if not mistaken), sorry couldn`t find the GSM
    B ) "Eurow" brand (i think AKA Costco towel), 350 GSM .
    C ) CG pro grade premium gold, 360 GSM. Short nap side to compare with the Eurow brand.
    D )Rag Co. Creature Edgeless Short nap side. 420 GSM.
    E )Same as "D" but long nap side.
    F ) Some random Terry Cloth i saw laying on the chair next to me.


    NEXT! :

    A)Megs Waffle Weave Drying Towel. It`s been used quite a few times.
    Rag Co. WW Platinum Pluffle, "pocket" section.
    C)Same as "B" but the long nap section.
    D)Satin Edge of the Pluffle.



    Griots Garage Mitt , left side is the "base" of the mitt and the right side is the long strands.


    Nanoskin Sponges,text on pic shows what`s what. I took a pic of the areas that looked faded/worn out on the pads.



    Pads compared to Megs Clay


    Thanks for watching .

    Polish abrasives would be awesome!

    Along with pics of the paint, before and after their use

    Re: Microscope Fun

    So this is the best i could see after messing with the zoom plenty of times to try to capture anything when it comes to abrasives, the compound was spread thinly over a tan table, hence tan background past the white color of the product:

    HD Cut




    Not doing paint before/after since i am not able to hook my microscope to my tablet for some reason. It only works on my desktop computer , and i don`t have a test panel that i can put on my desk at the moment.
