I got mine on eBay 500x SVP DMS 40
It works pretty good it has lights that light it up and a zoom button focus ring around lens. Eats up batteries pretty fast though. It uses a memory card.
Good luck.

Thank you for the quick reply and the info!

No problem.

all the discussions about permethrine and ivermectin being effective in killing scabies are blown out of proportions. i think that before using any of these products we need to prepare ourselves for possible side effects. i myself went ahead and blindly used both realizing after few month that scabies did not go anywhere/ here is a blog where people discuss natural ways of eliminating scabies - http://skinimprovements.com - now, looking back to my treatments i wish i had found the alternave anti scabies methods,

Sorry, but sulfur soaps and sulfur ointments don't penetrate enough to cure Scabies.

Can you identify what is in your 3rd photo. I have found this under a microscope too, but don't know what it is. Is it an undeveloped scabie? iIt seems to have a barb for a tail. I hope you are still active on this post. I'm looking on this post for answers & advice.

Absolutely! Thanks! I looked this up immediately after your reply...you are right on the mark. Now my problem, I was itching had some bumps come up with black specks on center, thought I had scabies. Got some permethrin 5% from doc, bought some tea tree oil 100%, my scalp & bod are still itchy. Wiped my body down with Tt oil & found the "specks" on the cotton ball. I placed it on a slide & find what you had in pic 3. Not what I expected!! Now I wonder can I treat as if it were scabies? My dog also has bald itchy spots on her "elbows". Wonder if it is the same & was she the carrier? Sorry so long I'm just really worried now. Thanks for your help :)

Yup you're getting them from the dog.

Diatom powder works on them. You need revolution for the dog.

Hi Langoliers, hows your wife doing? Did she feel crawling all over her body? Do you guys still have DE all over the house? You got tracks from what ever you were dealing with? I'm to the point I'm going to shave my hair off. Any help is apperciated

We are cleaning powder out of one room a week. My wife is still scared but still no bites. The Doctor gave us Lindane Shampoo maybe you can try that before you shave off your hair.

Tracks here is a pitcher of how they left tracks at the worst of our battle.

I don't blame her. How long have you been cleared? I know I have major OCD. I use to love being outside. I always hated bugs, but now I'm really scared.
Is DE all you used or did you fumigate also? My husband put DE all over the attic and basement, and my room. We fumigated the house about 3 weeks ago. I found a bug that was in my room, it was dead but all dried up prob from the DE. Thanks to your post about DE.
I doubt they will give me lindane, I don't have any marks but that little track a 1/2mm long. I showed them one I had on my leg that was prob 2 inches long, and they said I prob scratched myself...one scratch? No other scratches just one?? Ugh. Thanks again for still helping everyone on forum. You deserve a gold star!:-)

Early off we fumigate that didn't work

For the Environment (your house) all you need is DE a THIN coat on everything, and in bed with you.
Take that bed a part and powder everything. "Thin coat"

You will need lindane lotion for your body and that you need to put every where, in ears in your nose eye brows scalp under nails every where including the privates.

The last thing you need is Ivermectin.

Those three did it for us the rest you read about was nothing more then a waste of time. Some of it I had thought had cured us only to get bit up again 6 weeks later.

Good luck.

Revolution did not work for my dogs.
The very first thing the vet gave my pets was injectible ivermectin.
Revolution does not quite do it.

Ivermectin works wonder for scabies.
You can also use the Lindane as a topical, but I heard that lindane can be quite toxic, so don't use any more often than once every 7 days. Consult a physcian and have the physician prescribe Elimite permethrin cream 5%(with 3 refills) and Stromectol Ivermectin tablets according to your weight. 2 refills of the ivermectin would be needed.
Consult a professional medical doctor.
These are just things I learned along the way, and you should always consult a professional medical doctor.

Yes, Stromectol, and Lindane you need to get through your Doctor and follow those instructions, obviously. I had both given every seven days 5 doses of the Lindane and 4 months of Stromectol.
We did not win the war until my wife shaved her hair off and we DE everything.

I will say this one more time so no one gets the wrong idea. Follow Doctors orders, these medication can kill you if you do it wrong! And stay away from bleach baths and eating things like Borax. These will cause more harm then the mites.

Are those all tracks or are some of the marks scratches? It's hard for me to tell the difference...thanks for sharing the pic!

I woke up with them so I can't be 100% sure but they are way to thin to be finger nails. And very common to tracks marks we had for months. Some over 3 inches long. Most 1 1/2 inches long.
