<p>[QUOTE="Sam Stone, post: 4200542, member: 110020"]That's brilliant. I tried 15 and a half variations of everything everyone suggested and what has worked best for me so far is I bought a cheap microscope (even after being warned it could show too much detail), which was cheap enough it can't possibly show too much detail. Then, depending on ambient light at any given moment, I may or may not use a sheet of different degrees of frost or wax paper to diffuse and hopefully distribute lighting. It's easy to get as much or as little detail as I want including adjusting the light to highlight (or not) parts or all. My wife had the paper for diffusing and the microscope was an Amazon USB lightning deal for about $20. Your stuph would be more portable so you can count on me putting one together.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks for helping.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1077483[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1077484[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1077485[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1077486[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
