whatsthedillio Valued Member United States 131 Posts	Posted 04/27/2012 7:01 pm I've figured out I need a microscope to really hunt for errors. I've done a little research and am considering this one: AmScope SE305R-PX-P http://store.amscope.com/se305r-px-p.html Am I on track that for pictures I could use the usb camera and just do a screen capture? Thanks. * Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. * Edited by whatsthedillio 04/27/2012 7:06 pm Report this Post to the Staff

HOWEVER, there are several people here on the forum who have obtained satisfactory results with smaller, less expensive USB Microscopes. Here is an example of the S/S mint-mark on my 1875-S Twenty Cent Piece using my Dino-Lite USB microscope (there are several less expensive models available); Edited by oih82w8 04/27/2012 7:09 pm Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 04/27/2012 7:35 pm The problem with low cost microscopes is they do not have any lighting control built in. The dino ones do but cost more. Also the low cost ones don't have a white balance. John1 Report this Post to the Staff
