Thanks. With my new phone having a dual camera typical iPhone microscope lenses wont work, so I need something else.

 

What stand do you use?

 

What are you working with, Soren? What phone?

The reason I ask is, depending on what you now have, you may be better off working with it than moving to a very limited/handicapped USB "scope".

iPhone 7+ Dual camera set up makes it difficult to take picture through my old microscope attachments and micro lenses because they are fit for one lens. It makes the screen keep going black over and over. Maybe Ill deal with what I have and just wait till they make them for the new phones.

 

I was under the impression that new lens attachments for the 7 were already available; is this not true? I know Zeiss has their ExoLens line available, so I would assume there would be some of the more affordable options as well.

Either way though; your iPhone's camera/sensor is almost certainly superior to any you'll find in a cheap USB "scope", so you're probably going to be better off working with what you have instead of regressing imo.

Also, depending on how far you wish to go with your hobby and/or coin photography, there are other options superior to the phone that can be had for fairly little money (especially compared to, say, a decade ago), but there's more to it than simply pointing and shooting, and surely isn't for everyone. The best of luck to you no matter which path you choose.

 

Ill stick with what I got now, but magnified images such as of varieties are rather hard to take, but I will look around for some new lenses.

 

Tyler your cool. Refreshing. You ruin it when you lose it. Be the bigger man
