i bought a half millionths DTI for goofs, if you breathe on the stylus the reading changes

Where did you find a 0.5 uin indicator?. Is it even possible for a mechanical devise to have such discrimination? Is this a gauge amplifier that you are describing as simply a DTI? I had once seen a 0.2um Mikrokatoron Ebay and have since believed that anything further had to be the domain of a elctro-mechanical devices.

I just received happiness in the mail today! it functions beautifully well if you breathe on it, you may just get a reading! the price was too low to mention :anon:

Mike, that's actually 50 millionths. You need two more zeroes for a half millionth.
