IIRC the _checked_baggage_ X-ray machines can vary the intensity. (Not that this contradicts anything folks have said about the carry-on X-rays, even if I'm right.) I didn't think the carry-on scanners could be turned up. -- Glenn

I keep a fairly keen eye on prices, as do many others here. Looking @ http://www.mpex.com, RB67 prices have been dropping. Pentax is down a little from a year ago, but not much. It's unique enough to hold its value. Good for the retailer and the company -- it's a product that's not in a surplus/co

You can get close to 1:1 with extension tubes and a 2x placed at the rear. The scanned results will easily allow the desired web display @ 10x. I suspect lighting will end up being more of an issue than magnification. (That is, if I understand the issue correctly.) Collin ---
