After waiting 7 weeks for it to arrive, His Majesty finally got the led usb microscope He ordered from China for only $24.95 (free shipping even!).
KT has been taking pictures of His Royal Mineral Collection of tiny crystals, but decided to let y'all see what can be done with coins. Mininum magnification is 50X, so KT decided to take a few shots of the 1986 proof commemorative He recovered from CRHing a couple of weeks back.
First image is of the date....could only get the 86 in the field of view.
Second image is on the flip side of the adult male immigrant, and the 3rd one is of the child. For a "toy" as one of KT's photographer friends called it, it takes a pretty good image imho. In the past when dinosaurids roamed the earth, KT did a lot of photomicrography with slide film and multiple exposures to get a decent picture. In most instances, this is quite comparable in quality for overall pleasing appearance to the image.
KT decided last week He did not like the crumby base that came with this camera set up and ordered a separate base that the scope will fit into. It appears to have a better, more accurate focusing mechanism. We shall see. Supposed to be delivered by the end of November...total of $16.95, again with free shipping from China.
