You may know I love a good microscope, so when I heard these were no longer wanted at work I kindly volunteered to save them the skip space. 
These are Vision "Dynascopes", or "Eyepiece-less" microscopes, fully optical but it's like looking at an 8" circular monitor. I was told they didn't work but as far as I can tell, both do, I even got Bandicam to read from the cameras! The Lynx is supposed to be for PCB inspection and zooms from 7x to 80x, the Hawk is essentially a toolmakers microscope, or maybe closer to a shadowgraph, (with 0.5 micron glass slides on all axis!), I've got 2x, 5x and 10x objectives but there's a significant internal magnification on top of that. Needless to say I'm pretty chuffed with these, nice little upgrade on my Mitutoyo toolmakers scope.
This is with the 2x lens fitted to give some idea of how it works. I'll probably start a new thread on these soon, I've got some electronics to make up and some optics to clean.
