That's nice. Real nice clear pics!
Hard to beat that kind of detail for the price.
Very cool.
Great transactions with oih82w8, JasonGaming, Moose1913.

Is that the one where the picture button is on the top of the unit? Can it. E controled via the computer
what are the details of that unit besides amazon.
like model type etc..
And can you post a few more coin photos....or a close up of a piece of currency?
I was playing around with mine. The built in light became my one obstacle, at least for clear pictures, as you second image appears to demonstrate. I turned the built in LED off and set a table lamp to one side. I need to add a second light from the other side and that should balance things out.
I'm guessing it's this one! Same one I have.

Is there some Forum etiquette that says if you start a post then get lots of questions that you should at least respond to some of them
Keep 'em guessin'....
The pardon is for tyrants. They like to declare pardons on holidays, such as the birthday of the dictator, or Christ, or the Revolution. Dictators should be encouraged to keep it up. And we should be encouraged to remember that the promiscuous dispensation of clemency is not a sign of political liberality. It is instead one of those valuable, identifying marks of tyranny.

I am going to guess it’s the more expensive one. Mine was $20.00 from Amazon and works okay. I have since moved on to the big bucks type micros. I even have one with counter weight and must weigh about 40 pounds. Go figure, But I rarely use them all.
I can now answer my own questions...
Those look pretty good, kindly post the link to the product.
Please post a photo of your microscope or a link to the one you have and model #.

That’s the one I bought in 2018 for $35.00. Works good for the money but of course has its limits.
This was the last one I bought. I like how you can use the zoom in if you want. Problem is I hardly use any of them but boy I am ready!

Can you post some images taken with your scope, please?
I would but I just buy I don’t really use them all. All I did was get it hooked up to where it would work and then onto other things. I will have to hook it back up. Most every coin I buy is perfect! Just kidding right now I am at a Dentist office with a possible abscess and I got a feeling I won’t be very active except hopefully I will feel better than the last 3 days. I been basically bed ridden for the last 3 days . Took today off just to see the dentist! But maybe I can set it up and take a few shot later today.
Just a follow up done with the dentist got to go get medicine. In a few hours I will set it up with pictures for you.
Good luck at the dentist. No hurry with the images.
Okay setting up now bare with me!
This is the what I am taking a picture of.
Okay with the light source off the side.
Using the light source onec I figured it out.
