paveltul Valued Member United States 111 Posts	Posted 04/28/2018 1:17 pm I have been searching through this forum for a minute now, but I can't find an answer. I have this microscope, which works great for close ups, but I cant fit an entire coin into the picture. So do I need a different microscope, a diffrent stand, or some other device or gadget. And if so, which one? Report this Post to the Staff

Justwalking Valued Member Russian Federation 172 Posts	Posted 04/28/2018 1:35 pm Probably here is the answer http://goccf.com/t/308329 Remove it from stand or turn it and try to focus on full size coin from longer distance to be sure.

Crazyb0 Rest in Peace 10197 Posts	Posted 04/28/2018 2:22 pm Buy a 14" metal tube at the hardware store the same size, a couple notches top and bottom wit a file and you will extend to fit dollar size coins. Put marks around the tube at points for preset locations for exact coin sizes, then use the focus. If your scope doesn't have a 0 to infinity focus, a 14" tube will be all the extension you can use and still get a focus pic. Edited by Crazyb0 04/28/2018 2:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
