Anyone have experience revealing flow lines with digital microscopes?

    Trying to consolidate my coin research/photography equipment but still very much needing a digital and analog microscope. Recently I bought a 4k Tomlov and was hoping it could carry all the burden but doesn't appear to be the case.

    The attached 3 images are of the same 1913 Buffalo Type 1. A closeup of the nose region using the digital microscope shows hot it is clearly using it's software to process out the flow lines. Using my phone to grab a picture through the analog microscope and the flow lines on the same section of the nickel are clearly visible.

    Any insight or guidance available would be greatly appreciated!

    Are you do a manual focus or control the F stop on the scope?
