<p>[QUOTE="cpm9ball, post: 961132, member: 24633"]The best microscopes for coin photos are stereo with either binocular or trinocular components and zoom capability. Trinocular is the best because it has a dedicated eyepiece for the camera attachment. If you're hoping to get one that will take full-frame photos of coins, you can forget it. As has already been stated, they're not much good for anything larger than a dime.</p><p> </p><p>However, if your primary purpose is taking microphotos of varieties and errors, then you'd want one of a standard design, similar to mine shown below. You want to be sure that it is equipped with built-in overhead lighting, preferably halogen. You'd also want to make sure that it comes with software that allows you to capture and process images using nothing more than your computer and mouse. This eliminates any possibility of camera movement which can result in blurry photos. </p><p> </p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
