<p>[QUOTE="silvrluvr, post: 77293, member: 4204"]I'm going to go the variable power stereo microscope route, 7X-45X. I have troubles trying to hold the loupe up to my eye and hold the coin in focus. It's too close to my face and I don't want any moisture from my breath that close to the coin. Also, I'd like to see the image in 3D, which is not possible with one eye. I'm going to send the microscope image to my TV set or computer to make it easy to see in comfort and allow for 'screen captures' for pics. I'm doing a lot of research into the subject right now. In the meantime, I have a 5X Bausch and Lomb with a good sized 1 1/2" lens. I think it was $8.99 including shipping on eBay and it slides in and out of a plastic case which allows for plenty to hold on to while viewing. The lens is probably plastic but the image is okay. I'm trying to find my 10X hastings triplet....[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
