welder Pillar of the Community United States 1037 Posts	Posted 06/29/2015 8:39 pm The microscope claims to be a 500x. Here is a dime from my pocket. Maximum close up: Fully extended: And that's about it. Not much of a range, especially with larger coins. But I do appreciate the close up capabilities of this microscope. It suits my needs for now.

Not crazy about the stand, though. http://plugable.com/products/usb2-micro-200x/" I checked out the link and Plugable said they were discontinuing the model for their new redesigned $35 model. So I ordered one from Amazon. It should be easier than my "old" way: 35mm camera, macro lens, light stand,develop film, convert to digital. I know, I know that is the 'old' way. Will post some pictures once all setup. Stay tuned. Report this Post to the Staff

techwriter Pillar of the Community United States 1285 Posts	Posted 10/27/2015 9:39 pm UPDATE: the Plugable $35 scope arrived; took about 25-30 to do all the setup. Works Great for me and my needs! Still Learning but the photos I've taken so far are wonderful. And while examining my 1859 CLCs I discovered I had something I didn't know I had; so will do some good shots and post. For what I wanted to do this little thing works okay; little issue with the light but am working on that. Report this Post to the Staff
