jharrel11-migration Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Need some help please! As a new coin collector, I am hoping that some of you might be able to provide some recommendations for a digital microscope. I am looking for something that will take good photographs of the entire coin as well as something with significant zoom. Thanks to those that respond.

cpm9ball Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 You will not find any microscope/camera set-up that will take good, full-coin images of anything much bigger than a cent. For anything larger, you would have to move the scope too far away, and the camera would not be able to focus well. Your best bet would be to get a decent camera with a good macro function or one that permits interchangeable lenses. But, that won't completely resolve the issues of taking good close-ups. For this, you would still need a dedicated microscope/camera set-up. For my close-ups, I use a Pac-Sci Binocular Stereomicroscope w/zoom. The gooseneck-mounted camera slips over one of the eyepieces. (NOTE: Eventually, I will upgrade to a trinocular model so that the camera has a dedicated eyepiece.) The scope has built-in over/under halogen lighting with a dimmer control for each. I prefer the halogen lighting to the LED lighting that most digital microscopes have. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
