Now that has potential:

By pure coincidence, I already have a Sony HDR-SR1 high-def (1080i)
camcorder and a 21" 16:9 LCD display with HDMI input in the lab.

Putting those two devices together and adding an appropriate macro lens
would seem to be a natural thing for this kind of work.

Great idea, Ian!

One can find similar devices on the used market from time to time,
made for folks who are visually-impaired. My late wife left me one,
but it's up in Canada. I hope to retrieve it this coming summer.
