Bluevase Valued Member United States 114 Posts	Posted 11/14/2017 12:23 pm John1, I'm using a Plugable digital microscope (usb2-micro-250x) with adjustable LED light. I continue to try to alter the light yet it seems to always look best at the higher lighting and very dim and discolored at a lower light level. Report this Post to the Staff
John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 11/14/2017 1:00 pm I have two of that type of scope. I had to block off all but one LED and put a filter on that one. Then I use a handheld LED flashlight. When needed I also have a handheld LED flashlight that has a filter over it. But,whenever possible I like using a point-N-shoot camera set to macro mode.
