<p>[QUOTE="techwriter, post: 2316687, member: 75477"]<b>TJ1952</b>, don't have a picture but I've provided a link to one on eBay. The water bottle: I buy distilled water in plastic one gallon jugs; I cut the bottom off of one and also enlarged the top so the microscope can be moved up/down. The plastic diffuses the light so you don't have the glare issue when photographing coins. Oh, I turn off the LED lights on the microscope and use external lights. I'm going to a local camera store and buy a piece of translucent plastic which is really better than the water jug.</p><p>Link for the mounting stand:</p><p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lighthouse-Universal-Microscope-Copy-Stand-Fits-Most-USB-Digital-Microscopes-/121844644774?hash=item1c5e81bba6:m:mfJO5YsPqitcbsEggybAZQA" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lighthouse-Universal-Microscope-Copy-Stand-Fits-Most-USB-Digital-Microscopes-/121844644774?hash=item1c5e81bba6:m:mfJO5YsPqitcbsEggybAZQA" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lighthouse-Universal-Microscope-Copy-Stand-Fits-Most-USB-Digital-Microscopes-/121844644774?hash=item1c5e81bba6:m:mfJO5YsPqitcbsEggybAZQA</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
