Looking For A Good USB Microscope

Numisma. the second one my son uses that for his coins searching. it works very good it is also very easy to images the coins. where this really shines it with postage stamps. if you are sure you want to go this way. what him and I did was use my janjso lamps diffused to light the bright coins such as nickel's quarters dimes and silver dollars. the little led lights reflect off the coin when imaging. so you can darken the light and use your own lights at the same angles that ray and dave . teach us to use and that works pretty good. but if your thinking about a camera setup. if I had it to do over I would get ray to set me up. save you time and money. any way have a great one

I have two of these http://www.amazon.com/Celestron-Del...HGVBE1MFRHGF, They take good pictures and have a good interface to view coins on your computer screen.

I bought the last one I posted and have been using it for some time now. It works quite well on my Windows computer.

One of my Christmas gifts is a Plugable USB 2.0, just like the one in the original post. It takes decent pictures and has a fairly short learning curve. I have it paired to a pc using Windows 7 and I run it through a good photo editing program. My best results so far have come when I set the subject on a sheet of black construction paper and use another sheet of this same paper to shadow and reflect the light. I also use a LCD flashlight at different angles to get some spectacular results. If I can do this I think anyone can get some great photos with a little experimenting and creativity.
