John1, though I have not used this stand I would have to say that because of its length you would not be able to take full pictures of anything larger than a U.S. quarter. Although not knowing what microscope you are using I could be wrong. I have three different microscopes and until I purchased a 14" brass tube I had to stack books in order to get the microscope high enough to take pics of half dollars and large dollars. Celestron with stock riser tube.  Celestron with 14" brass riser tube purchased from my local hardware store. I hope this helps.   |

 I just stack boxes till I get a big enough picture that I could focus. |

I just ordered one this morning. Estimated delivery is 10/29. I'm not really looking to use it with my microscope however, I will be using it for a lighting experiment.

Right, you just need to pick it up from the coin and give a light source!

Just came in. My Celestron does not fit in the opening  . I had to put the bottom of the scope into the stand, and that way the scope won't go down enough for a close up pic. I will try and figure something else out. I will try my other scope later. John1 |

O.K.,my AmScope fits. Here is a pic of a 2011 LSC with my Celestron  Here is a 1998 LMC WAM with my AmScope  The new stand is no easier then the old ones. I had to stack books to get a close up shot. The new stand is more sturdy but I feel like I am out $20  John1 |

Those are some crazy close pictures. I am trying most times to zoom out enough to fit the whole coin.
Never tried to zoom in. Well next time.
