[QUOTE="Patrick Shaw, post: 2914046, member: 91206"]I apologize as I imagine variations of this question have been asked many times here before. My dad is a big fan of buying and selling coins on ebay. He's currently using a very old flatbed scanner that is giving him poor images. I'd like to get him something new to help him get better images. The obvious answer here is a camera (as I've read many places that cameras are best), but he has MS, so using a camera is more or less out of the question (holding the camera and taking the image would be pretty difficult). I've done a fair amount of research, and became intrigued with the idea of a USB Microscope. Ideally, I'd find one that allowed you to adjust the focus via the software (rather than have to adjust it on the microscope itself). I was wondering if anyone has had success with scanners or a USB Microscope. If you have specific models that work well for you, that'd be ideal.[/QUOTE]
