Here is the "upgrade" story:
The results look OK at moderate magnificaitons. I am starting to check it out with my 10X lens.

Upgrade to BugEX home rig
I took advantage of the Memorial Day holiday to make some updates to my rig. This included a lighting change as well as a long contemplated upgrade to my bug actuator.

Wow! Great job, and works fine: The bee head looks excellent. Thanks for sharing, Keith. I love the American "can-do"-attitude!
Though, at first sight, I thought that a can with black enamel had exploded in your basement.
Now, OzRay's set-up is said to be 'steampunk' design. Then I'd say yours got that special Fred Flintstone-Barney Rubble touch. See what I mean?! 
No offense intended, I am truely impressed by the various set-ups you guys come-up with which all exceed my craftsmanship skills.

But hey, I can knit jumpers'n socks.

Betty,
With the rising price of gas, I may need to build a Fred Flintstone car that runs on "yabba-dabba-do" power...
More seriously, I will soon be trying the actuator with some microscope lenses. And then I have to clean up the mess from dissecting a dozen CD and floppy drives...
