Well, it sold for $63,750:

3D printed Louis Vuitton replica apparently:

I doubt that it would be my own first priority if I had $64k going spare, but astonishing engineering – something called 2-photon polymerisation printing. Shall have to look that up now….

I recently printed some grilles that are 0.2mm bars on a 0.5mm grid. I think i could go smaller… but not that small.

And for anyone interested in the investment potential of such “Art” … I note from the Independent that:

The canny thing of course would be to lock it away in a very small safe and sell entirely invisible NFTs.

Just shows what some people value things at. It reminds me of the line from the song by Del Amitri, Nothing ever happens. "While American buisinessmen snap up Van Goghs for the price of a hospital wing".

More importantly (to me) what Microscope is that and does it come with the screen as standard? I doubt I can afford it but thought I’d ask anyway.

Can’t be certain … but I’m pretty sure it’s one from this range: **LINK**

Vic, there are masses of microscopes on ebay, many at very good prices. If Ididn't already have a nice one which is hardly ever used, I would be buying myself.

Sadly out of my price range for the use it would get. Are any of the digital USB ones any good?

I started a discussion about this a while ago. Might be worth a read. Shamefully, I didn't report the outcome for me – I did buy a cheap (~£35) device, but it wasn't great. I found that I could get the same sort of images or better with magnifying lenses and a mobile phone camera. MichaelG linked to PeplerOptics (sorry I didn't acknowledge that Michael, but I did read and digest!) They give proper specs and seem trustworthy. Entry level now on sale at ~£160.
