Finally have the thing up and running, I have only experimented a bit with it. I thought I would get any advice from those who have used one or one similar. I know I will have to modify the lighting it is definately to bright for BU coins. Any info appreciated.
Thanks
Sandra

Sandra, there are several QX5 users here, so I'm sure they will offer their comments. Mine is the QX3, so there isn't muh I can offer in that respect. You will have better rsults with a different lighting system.

Hmfffff....well it seems the QX5 is ok for seeing more detail but can't say I'm pleased with the images. I think I'm getting better results with my cheap camera but I will continue to experiment. Will put up a practice image in the testing forum soon and get your opinions. Obviously a better scope ($$$$) is needed but it will have to wait till I find that awesome Doubled Die to fund my purchase

Sandra: If it is there you will find it. You just won't have as nice an image to show. That's when you try something else to show the image with. But till then you can still find stuff with your setup. Most of the time finding something is the problem. So keep it till you can get the scope of your dreams. You can always WOW us with better images then. Same the money till your ready to get something better.
I had the orginal intel microscope. Its still setting in sight. I didn't like the plastic lens on them. Save till you get the scope. Then save/give it to a new comer in the family hopefully.

Dick, what kind of microscope do you use? What is the power?
Ive been thinking of getting a scope for RPM searching, and other things, and need some advice. Im not looking for a very expensive one. probably under $300

Zacaharycash, I hope I got the name right. I have no ffontal vision, so it is difficult to be sure.
The scope is a QSZ, Stereo-zoom, .7-4.5. It is one that I got refurbished, for $500. It was a pretty expensive scope, new. There are several scopes, that are within your price range, but I don't have links to them. Garylcsr can help there. Not thaat he is the inly one, but he gave me a linnk to another site, and I got a second scope, but it isn't the scope that the QSZXZ is. The reason that I mentioned HGary, is that the site also has cameras that fit in the eye-piece well. Gart, Can you help here?
Thanks,
Dick
