<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rmpsrpms, post: 2640063, member: 31773&quot;]There is a tradeoff you must make when you go to higher quality optics. As SuperDave mentions, his 4Plan has shallow DOF. This is due to the fairly large aperture (high &quot;NA&quot; in objective terminology), which gives him good sharpness but shallow DOF, requiring stacking to get both sharpness AND DOF. The Dino Lite is designed to have a smallish NA/aperture in order to have a deep DOF so that stacking is not required. So if you go for a Dino Lite, you are trading sharpness for DOF. It is simple (???) physics but many folks would prefer to make that tradeoff rather than be forced to take multiple images at different focal planes and stack them to achieve a sharp image with good DOF.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
