<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1275217, member: 15199&quot;]No, the microscope lens system should be able to focus sharply on objects up to 40mm or so to get whole US dollar coins in the photo. There are one or 2 USB scopes similar to the China models, but able to focus on a whole silver dollar, they would generally be at least 5-6inches away and at that range , a magnification of 1X to 3-4X, and cost over $500.&nbsp; The Chinese manufacturers and their middlemen use magnification range rather than range of field at focus. They are lucky to get a focus on a range of field the size of a whole cent, most can&#039;t. They have limited use for variety and partial coin photos, but they aren&#039;t what people want. Most are 1.2mp, or 3mp, or on the more expensive ones 5mp. </p><p><br /></p><p>You can buy a point and shoot 12-14mp camera for under a $100 in Best Buy or Amazon. If it has a &quot;macro&quot; function, you can crop a 12 mp way down and get a better resolution photo than with a 3mp usb microscope camera. And it can take whole album pages, photos of the dog, etc.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
