So I've been toiling with a future purchase of a stereoscope for the varieties I find in Wheat and memorial bags. I've heard of this scope through an issue of CoinWorld and decided to give it a try. For the $20, I guess it's worth a shot. Here are some images I shot on my iphone with only one jansjo light. More than likely I'll get a second light because they're still a little dark for my tastes. But check out the results, I'm pretty impressed.

Very NICE

No blurring at the edges of the images, looks great to me.

More LIGHT please and multiple angles, two or three directions. I had a wacko idea the other day but have not worked on it yet, it might look horrid but I was thinking of rigging up LED Christmas lights all around the 'A-Team/ MacGyver' rig I'm planning on building, still just ideas but give me a few months I'll get there.

I just use a 10x Loupe, my iPhone, and two Jansjos.

great clear closeups but the focal length about 1/2-3/4" and it ends up blocking a lot of light. really have to flood the surface at a sharp angle to get decent shots, which creates its own issues.
