[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 566627, member: 15199"]I agree with Chuck on this as I use a B & L binocular stereo zoom 7-30X scope ( lab surplus) and it has one eyepiece adjustable so I can use it without my glasses on. I have a 0.5X adapter that will cut the magnification to 1/2. Also I have a single 5X eyepiece I can subsitute for the nonadjustable 10X eyepiece if further reduction is needed for the large coins like Morgans. My Canon 590IS shoots very well through one eyepiece, the autofocus and Image stabilization works great, and the camera is about $100 now. Labs are phasing out the older stereozooms for the newer ones with built in usb cameras, but they will soon learn they are not very upgradeable whereas a separate digital camera is. I have a USB microscope, but it isn't the sharp quality of the lab scope. I haven't used it for months. Jim[/QUOTE]
