<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3313905, member: 19463&quot;]Every now and then I get an urge to try making photos with a very old microscope that I have had since college but it was vintage then.&nbsp; Looking at my latest results I see that this would be better done with focus stacking but that was more involved than I had time for last night so these are just very small parts of some coins from my collection.&nbsp; I once did this with nature subjects and my daughter liked to play a game trying to guess what was shown.&nbsp; &#039;Whatzits&#039; can be fun if you are into such games.</p><p><br /></p><p>These images are all from coins I have posted on CT more than once,&nbsp; All seem obvious to me but I know the answers.&nbsp; Anyone who wishes is invited to identify the coin or the part of the coin that is shown.&nbsp; I will point out that coins used for this purpose need to be dusted off better than I did.&nbsp; There is some dust here and there.</p><p><br /></p><p>What is shown here? </p><p>[ATTACH=full]877939[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>What city issued this coin?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]877940[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This coin was issued by the younger brother of the usurper.&nbsp; Who were they?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]877941[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>On this one the question is what is shown and what civilization issued the coin.&nbsp; Can you name the ruler?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]877942[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This may the the hardest one but it shows enough to ID the specific issue of this Caesar.&nbsp; Whatzit?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]877943[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Is this worth doing?&nbsp; I assume those who hated the idea did not read this far.&nbsp; What other subjects would be good to show this way?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
