I've see some real nice closeups of pics on this forum and was wondering what the pros (you know who you are

) are using to achieve this.

I've debating whether or not to pick up a usb digital microscope/camera 200x. But, I'm not sure what I should buy or where to buy it.

I use a Celestron usb microscope and paid less then $60 but I can't recommend it. My nephew has a Dino-light and it works great but cost a lot, I do recommend it. When I was shopping around for mine, my second choice was a Barska(i think that's how it's spelled) it cost $70, I wish I bought that one.

You could look at the forum we have that's dedicated to this topic.

http://www.coincommunity.com/forum/...?FORUM_ID=81

In fact, the current first thread addresses the specific question you have.

Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy, and good with mustard.
