New digital microscope

I am very pleased with my new digital microscope. This is a MM on the reverse of a Morgan Dollar. What do you think?

I need to get one I guess, because I can't see them with my 20X loop without getting eye strain. Where did you find it?

 

Google is your friend. All different price ranges and features.

 

I understand Google but I don't want to get something useless that's why I ask the person using one that does a good job.

 

I got it off of ebay. Andonstar. $59.95.

 

That looks pretty good. What sort of lighting does it use?

LED that is adjustable in a circle around the head. Another thing I like about it is that it is only about 6" tall and 6" wide. Doesn't take up a lot of space.

 

I want one...could you tell us the model #?

 

Nice image. How close is the color to the actual color of the coin?

 

It doesn't have a model number. If you go to ebay and type in Andonstar it will show you the different styles. Mine is the fixed head style. I got it because I will be looking at coins mainly.

 

On copper it is pretty good. I've only been working with it for a couple of hours and haven't used it on any toned coins yet to really see the color.

 

@furham does it connect to an android tablet?

 

Yes if it has a USB port.

 

I think it's an O.

 

Thanks I appreciate the reply and I like the images.

 

For sharper images, try acquiring the image in grayscale rather than color. This will eliminate color noise and white balance issues and you should get a nicer image. Another thing you could do is cover the light with a green filter, which should reduce diffraction and sharpen the image further. Even as is, however, the images look nice.

 

I order one ANDONSTER USB DIGITAL. I wait it. I hope that I will get what they promising.

 

What power(s) is the microscope? One single power or selectable? Thanks

 

I order: ANDONSTER USB DOGITAL for 79 $. I hope to get what they are promissing.

 

Coinzip.com sells them . Alan is a member here ....what nice is having someone for support if needed. I have had mine for over 15 years! Never had any issues . Alan also sells the Stands, light boxes, and other related items. Go to coinzip.com and see what you're missing .

Just a thought you get what you pay for as I first purchased a cheaper model scope years ago. Ended up returning it as it did not compare to the Dino - lite microscope camera.
