Digital photography through a microscope

...loading

Points to note:
  • Camera: Sony Mavica
  • Microscope - el cheapo binocular using 10x mag.
  • Coin is an Australian penny 1933/2 overdate.
  • Coin is wet from olive oil (don't ask).

The overdate is impossible to see naked-eye, and all I can see with a loupe is the blip at the left stem of the "3".

Hold the Mavica lens as close as possible to the 'scope eyepiece, and fiddle with the zoom until the image fills the screen nicely, and stays in reasonable focus.

Take lots of shots - cull for the best.
