    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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.
