<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1736667, member: 15199&quot;]These photos that appear to be taken with a USB microscope have overloaded the area with light, causing reflections that often appear to be split serifs but aren&#039;t.&nbsp; If a serif is truly split, there will be greater thickness in the device, such as the lower part of the &quot;9&quot;, as much as the apparent distance of the split end. If there isn&#039;t, it is just reflection like non_cents said. </p><p><br /></p><p>If a person is going to continue using such as microscope where the the lights are not adjustable as to intensity or angle, make a filter by cutting a hole where the lens is, but covering the lights around the lens, such as cut from printer paper. If it helps, make several filters of different # of sheets glued together. This will reduce the light coming almost straight down. You might also try an opaque filter to block the leds entirely and light the coin&nbsp; from the side with another light source. Maximum light also affects the ability of the camera to make high resolution due to the &quot;blooming&quot; effect. IMO.</p><p>JIm[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
