<p>[QUOTE=&quot;SirCharlie, post: 761764, member: 17255&quot;]A Hammacher Schlemmer catalog came in the mail at the office today, and while flipping through it I saw what looks like quite the little microscope for coins, stamps, etc.&nbsp; It magnifies up to 1600x and has a display screen &amp; video.</p><p>Thought some might like to check it out.&nbsp; It sure would make it much easier to define a DD, added mintmark, spot fakes, etc...</p><p><a href="http://www.hammacher.com/Product/75373" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.hammacher.com/Product/75373" rel="nofollow">http://www.hammacher.com/Product/75373</a> </p><p>It shows a little video of how it works in case you are interested.</p><p><b>The Video Screen Microscope. </b></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #666">This is the microscope that replaces the standard eyepiece with an LCD screen that displays objects at up to 1600X magnification. A built-in 2MP digital camera captures still images or videos and displays objects on a 3 1/2&quot; thin-film transistor LCD at 320 x 240 resolution (<span style="color: #0000ff">Play video</span>.) The microscope&#039;s three objective lenses (4X, 10X, or 40X) provide magnification from 40X-400X (up to 1600X when used with its 4X digital zoom). Objects can either be illuminated from the top (for solid objects) or from the bottom (for prepared slides) using two separate 6-watt LEDs. A colored filter wheel helps block out wavelengths to make objects clearer. The camera&#039;s built-in 128 MB memory can store up to 120 still shots or up to 40 minutes of video at 1600 x 1200 resolution; an SD card slot allows for memory expansion. A USB port (cable included) allows you to download content to your computer; works with Windows XP, Vista (32-bit version only), and Windows 7. Includes five slides (insect and plant parts) and a carrying case. Plugs into AC. 13&quot; H x 6&quot; W x 4 1/2&quot; D. (3 1/4 lbs.)</span></p><p><span style="color: #666"></span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
