Disposable microscope cards great for mobile scientists, perverts and CSI fans

38bbb_microscope_card.jpg Have you ever been on the subway and wanted to analyze that odd stain on the seat next to you and thought, "Damn! If only I had my microscope!"? Well, worry no longer, because we (and by 'we,' I mean Japan) have a solution!

These Japanese disposable microscope cards come in a pack of 5 and enable you to magnify small amounts of blood, fabric, semen, blood, or semen up to 1000 times normal size, depending on light available and distance from the user's eye.

The aforementioned 5-pack of mini-microscopes sells for a cool $89, which might seem pricey, but really, can you put a price on analyzing your sperm count when and where you want? I didn't think so!

In case you run out of ideas for magnification, the manufacturers have plenty of helpful suggestions. Your disposable microscopes are perfect for:

• Viewing sperm, making sperm counts
• Viewing/Checking blood counts
• Checking hair for dryness
• Examining microorganisms

What are you waiting for — one of Horatio Cane's trademark one-liners? Order your 5-pack of disposable microscopes today, you lucky so-and-so!
