[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2883456, member: 15929"]I think it depends upon the quality of the photograph and the subject matter being photographed. The major point in identifying some varieties is how well light can be directed onto the subject variety. Put the light source in the wrong location and regardless of how high the photographic resolution, the variety will be nearly invisible. This is one reason why I like my Stereo scope. I can adjust the angle of the coin to optimize the viewing of the variety for photographing. The downside is that my Stereoscope is to heavy and bulky to wear around my neck at coin shows. Traditional Magnifiers are only as good as the light source provided to them. I only use my loupe to possibly identify. I use my scope to verify. As pointed out for enlarging digital photographic images, the enlargement is only as good as the image.[/QUOTE]
