Gesswein introduces Dino-Lite Microscopes for tasks involving assembly, inspection, and documentation. All models feature a digital camera with powerful magnification. Micro-Touch trigger button for shooting without a mouse, and color resolution calibrated using a jeweler's color balance. DinoCapture software captures both pictures and video and allows point-to-point, curvilinear, and angular measurements. It also includes eight LEDs for strong lighting and USB 2.0 cable for easy computer transfer. Details vary according to model. More at www.gesswein.com.

Matrix Dies
Laser cut matrix dies are now available from Nanz Aalund Art Jewelry for making artiststic jewelry. The clear acrylic allows jewelers to see the roll-printed metal through the die and apply the exact part of the pattern desired. The dies are available in 1", 3/4" and 1/2" sizes, and in square, triangle, diamond, rectangle and oval shapes. They are designed for use with the hydraulic press, but can be used with a fly press as well. More at www.nanzaalund.com.
