so I started with the carson eflex was a great scoop but I found it to little of pixels so I wanted more lol.
I bougt a 12mp and it turned out to be crap res was only 720 so sent it back ,but after research found the cats meow for 50 bucks https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B...e=UTF8&psc=1
it a Mustcam uvc microscope wit true 5mp resolution which is very nice because normal apps pick it up right away.

Pros:
low price
adjustable mp 1.3@(1280x1024) to 5mp@(2592x1944)
easy focus

cons:
no light diffuser very bright lights but can be turned down
Stand is decent but can angle it
have to make your own diffuser lol.

picture differnce:

Carson Eflex

Mustcam @2.1mp

Mustcam @5mp with quick diffuser

i hope this can help some, just got it last night so havnt ad to much time to play with it.

00 And forgot close up @ 5mp

Oh Boy! Gonna be finding some errors now!

@Rothery definitely will help just got to make a more suitable light diffuser and cone one with the pics where fast jerry rig lol

Quote:
a more suitable light diffuser

Sometimes covering the light with a piece of tissue paper makes a pretty good diffuser.

i have a wife that makes resin jewelry I stole one o her ring mold lol silicon non clear lol.

Fort Moultrie die chip on arm after diffuser.

Pictures look pretty good.How does the scope do taking pictures of Lincoln cents?

@ rothery decent I think
1970 D die crack/chip

so not to bad little over exposure but can adjust did a fast one for you.

Yeah, a little too much lighting but otherwise looks great!

yeah trying to minimize it may just try using my 2 alien lights to see how it effects the sensor

think it has to do with the mp also those where done at 2.1mp also new with is so gotta kick the monkeys out so it works just right lol

Eyes, great find with reasonable price. I was thinking that you adjust the light and color with a photoshop app. However , what type of camera did you use? I am trying like crazy to set this cyber shot so I can take photos. I can the. Plug the USB into my computer and use the photoshop program I have downloaded....

@coinchatter 5mp mustcam pro , ave been monkeying around wit it a bit added a tilt and diffuser seems way better now, also I try gettin the best photo before my gimp app because I really dont want to spend the extra time

Thanks Eyez. I need to get one of these. Please keep posting tips and tricks as you get it dialed in.

@ psuman08 think I got it pretty dialed in had to make light diffuser from one of my wifes ring molds for the leds fit perfect and made a cone from an aspirin bottle fit perfect lol

MY 1994 Scarface LMC got it so light wasnt so reflective
