<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AZSteve, post: 5145660, member: 114396&quot;]Paddyman98 &gt; I just use an inexpensive 2 megapixel Plugable Digital Microscope (recommended elsewhere on this site) connected to a Windows computer, and use the built-in Windows camera software.&nbsp; I set the microscope height to fill about 95% of the screen height with the coin.&nbsp; Then ya just gotta be careful focusing it while you view the image on the computer screen, which is easier when it&#039;s big on the screen.&nbsp; As long as you don&#039;t change the setup (mainly, the height) you shouldn&#039;t need to focus again - but of course, you should know that by what you see on the computer screen.&nbsp; I also set the Sharpness on the computer software to max, and automatic color balance to about 4500K.</p><p><br /></p><p>After taking the pictures, I open them up with the built-in Windows picture-viewing software, then click Edit to 1) straighten them (if necessary), 2) crop them square (as you see above) and 3) maybe adjust the color a bit.&nbsp; Then re-save.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
