[QUOTE="CheetahCats, post: 897603, member: 23874"]I do. I point the Fuji into the right or left eyepiece. I then adjust the focus/height of the microscope while looking through the camera viewfinder and adjusting the camera's autofocus alternately. Once I'm satisfied with the clarity, I set the 2 second timer and hit the shutter button. The LED on the stereoscope seems to work effectively as lighting. Also note that my SLR wouldn't be compatible in lens size for this method. Here's a few shots using this method: 1883 Shield Nickel - Reverse (motto strike/authentication/die retooling investigation) 1912-S Liberty Nickel - Mintmark (metal flow for mintmark authentication) 1875-S 20-Cent - Liberty Shield (for grading) 1855-O Seated Liberty Quarter -Mintmark (and bagmark/harsh cleaning verification/investigation)[/QUOTE]
