<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 4529265, member: 15199&quot;]If you don&#039;t have enough pixels, and you enlarge it from the base level ( lowest magnification) the software adds extra pixels so there is no&nbsp; hole in the image, but since it isn&#039;t really there, it has to fake it by comparing to surrounding real pixels&nbsp; and adds one hoping no one notices. as the human brain can move the eye a small vibration so it can scan the lens image over the rods and cones ( like pixels in the camera) and the brain then can &quot;stitch&quot; the image together and convert it to memory form. If the averaged non-diseased human eye was measured it would have over&nbsp; 550 MP,&nbsp; so a good glass lens with the human eye are the very best way to see actual real detail that is present. A digital camera even on cell phones or ipad devices have 8+ MP ,so I would think a minimum level for enlargement would be that range if you are intending to enlarge every tiny structure into a blurry blob which is common here from some.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some digital cameras claim they magnify 50, 100, 500, even a 1,000 times, but they are talking about the max of the SOFTWARE produced image, not the actual data of true sharp image.&nbsp; If you have a 100X USB camera here is what 100X [ATTACH=full]1121813[/ATTACH] looks like with a lab microscope. These are the fields of a UNC Morgan dollar on the left and unc Peace dollar on the right in a post regarding more colorful natural toning on Morgan, more ridges, more refraction, than the peace. jim</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1121814[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>This is a photo of the Morgan surface at 400X with a lab, you can see the ridges. There is a little of &#039;out of focus&#039; areas as the higher the magnification , the less the depth of field of any lens. The camera shooting through the microscope lens was a canon point and shoot of 5mp and this was almost a decade ago. Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
