<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rick B, post: 4762973, member: 113624&quot;]Peter, I returned it after one day. I just wasn&#039;t satisfied with how difficult it is to get a good photo, and to get one of a whole larger coin, like a half dollar or larger. </p><p>I wrote to Plugable about this and here is what they said below in quotes.</p><p>So it&#039;s not even made for this purpose. </p><p><br /></p><p>Plugable:</p><p>&quot;We can get around this limitation by moving the microscope away from the object. Keep in mind that this device was designed for microscopic viewing (viewing tiny details not visible to the naked eye), and what you&#039;re trying to do is use it as a macroscopic device (take a picture of a large subject). A cell phone camera or a webcam is far better suited to this task.</p><p><br /></p><p>The microscope stand was designed with modularity in mind, all threads are 1/4&quot;-20, which is the same as all camera mounts. This means that the microscope can be attached to nearly any tripod or camera mount out there, or modified to fit a custom mount. You can also try something like placing the suction cup on a piece of glass, such as a window, and placing your subject below that.</p><p><br /></p><p>I encourage you to experiment and find out what works best for you!</p><p><br /></p><p>Cheers,</p><p><br /></p><p>Sam Morgan</p><p>Plugable Technologies[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
