For those of you that are using subject items, how do you mount them, plumb and level, to take coin pictures if using a<$300 A-stand setup or a copy stand ?

Do you use double sided tape?

Mount to a heavy base plate or to the stage plate?

Or no mounting at all, just sitting?

Pictures would be helpful. Thanks in advance.

My system has a goniometer at the bottom, Then X-stage, Y-stage, Z-stage, all bolted together. The goniometer is double-stick taped to the stand base.

I have other systems that are mounted differently. For the B&L A-stand type of system, I sometimes will drill holes in the stage plate and directly hard-mount the stages to the plate.

You have to mount these things pretty sturdily or they move around, negating their function.
