<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Spark1951, post: 3713848, member: 90692&quot;]Really like your setup, but you are correct that stereo optical zoom trinocular is the best way to go...if you can stand the cost.&nbsp; But don’t forget the camera pickup will still be digital to connect to the computer, so you want it 3 megapixel or better or you are wasting the optics.</p><p><br /></p><p>However, I have used usb microscopes for several years, was very unhappy with the pixelation problems at high magnitude on 2 megapixel scopes.</p><p><br /></p><p>Recently I spent $80.00 on a Celestron Handheld Digital Microscope Pro (it does come with a stand for full range and stability).&nbsp; I’ve been using it for grading and doubled die checking for 2 weeks now and it is excellent...it features a 5 megapixel pickup and is very clean and clear.&nbsp; I set the focus and slide the coins in and out effortlessly and quickly...no more frustration over seeing the die markers to confirm what you find.&nbsp; I have it connected to a laptop, not compatible with Apple Ipad.</p><p><br /></p><p>I will post pictures later today to show everyone.&nbsp; The only real problem I continue to have is glare trying to shoot through packaging and protection, like through a flip film while inside a 20-pocket page, etc.&nbsp; But glare and lighting issues happen no matter what you use.</p><p><br /></p><p>Spark[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
