<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 1138181, member: 19463&quot;]There are many ways of doing stereo including using a stereo microscope which will work well for small parts of coins but rarely has large enough field to shoot whole coins.&nbsp; When the object does not move, you can shoot two photos moving the camera between the shots to simulate a left and right eye perspective.&nbsp; Accurate alignment is crucial when the movement is made using one camera for sequential stereo!&nbsp; If you wish, you can adjust the amount of offset between the two shots to exagerate or diminish the stereo effect.&nbsp; Resulting photos can be viewed in any number of stereo devices if mounted correctly.&nbsp; I like the old standard (1850&#039;s through 1950&#039;s) 7&quot; wide cards but there are many formats.&nbsp; The lack of a standard system was always part of the problem that made stereo photography a declining fad.&nbsp; With practice, you can learn to view these cards by forcing your naked eyes to &#039;wall&#039; so the left sees the left image and the right sees the right.&nbsp; Beginners can help the process by holding a card betwen the halves so as to block each eye&#039;s view of the other image.&nbsp; Some users prefer to swap the halves right to left and view by crossing their eyes but I never could learn to do that.&nbsp; </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This is no place for a full lesson on stereo photography but the answer to your question is that the idea has merit and is worth your trouble learning to do it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
