Mitutoyo M PLAN 20x. A little overkill 😅. This lens can only fit small #’s, MM & letters.

    That is crazy close. B)
    A quick google search shows those lenses are NOT cheap.

    Can you zoom in a little closer?? I think I see a doubled die!!!!

    Jokes aside, this is very cool. Thanks for sharing your experiments.

    Wow! That's a microscope objective lens! Now I understand the price... and M Plan lenses are off the charts for resolution.

    FWIW... the student microscopes we use for Clinical Microbiology cost around $1.5k for the whole scope... with 3 objective lenses (10x, 40x, and 100x oil)...

    @in2Coins Love the pics!
    Any chance you can tell us what the coin actually is?
    Last one appears to be a Lincoln cent perhaps?

    Great closeups, as usual. Fantastic lens upgrade, although your past lens were great also. Congrats and thanks for sharing.
    BTW, for all those forumites wishing to be able to afford this type of lens. Go to temu. >:)
