Japanese company Thanko is always making cool and strange stuff, and this gadget is no exception. The Dino Lite EZ Digital Microscope plugs into your computer and gives you 10-50x magnafication of anything you’d want to get that close to, and my imagination hums with ideas as I type this.

The Japanese product page shows repulsive examples of skin…and skin. One of the advertised uses on this page has you questioning your hair line due to stress, and assures you that you can check the status of your scalp health with this device. They also recommend checking the status of your facial skin. Are they trying to scare you into purchasing this?

The Dino Lite EZ sells for 9,980 Yen.
