<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1828957, member: 15199&quot;]What he is saying is in regards to the final image size. If you take a 10X lens on the cameras CCD type of photoplane, it will reflect 10X the objects true measurements. Then if you blow that up digitally from less than a inch or so to a 10&quot; by 10&quot; image on our computer screen, it reflects 10X&nbsp;&nbsp; multiplied&nbsp; by&nbsp; 100 ( 10 x10) or 1000X.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is how you see the USB cameras tout their X, but either way, they both are false magnification.&nbsp; Only the magnification of the actual object to recording media counts, Any increasing the print size doesn&#039;t count as true magnification of the object, but enlargement of the pixels recorded by the camera. One could take the coin under discussion and theoretically put it on a jumbo screen and make it a 1,000,000 times actual size but it would be just as lacking as currently. </p><p><br /></p><p>Here is my photo of the comparison of a morgan dollar surface ( left) with that of a peace dollar (right) at 400 X true magnification through a real microscope.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i455.photobucket.com/albums/qq279/desertgem/comp400x.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
