<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 980472, member: 15199"]I think it will barely get a half dime image at its lowest. I have a similar model I don't use, because of that fact. It is fair for the small areas of a coin such as RPMs or such, but I most often also need the full obverse and reverse. Since you have a good camera with macro lens, I would recommend instead of the microscope, buying the book below if you don't have it and read it before buying.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Numismatic-Photography-2nd-Mark-Goodman/dp/193399004X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1282766931&sr=8-1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.amazon.com/Numismatic-Photography-2nd-Mark-Goodman/dp/193399004X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1282766931&sr=8-1" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Numismatic-Photography-2nd-Mark-Goodman/dp/193399004X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1282766931&sr=8-1</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Also, if lighting in the problem, very often a photo tent such as the one below will allow you to get nice lighting.
