Up for sale is a prototype Macrophotographic Stand with adjustment range ideal for viewing and imaging Lincoln Cents. The stand is configurable as a StereoZoom4 microscope (pod has 0.7x to 3x magnification) with 10x objectives for an effective 7x-30x range. At 7x the setup allows full view of a Lincoln Cent while at 30x it gives detail view for variety attribution. The microscope pod is removable and the stand has been modified to accept a photographic bellows within the pod mounting ring. Included with the setup is a bellows with lens and camera adapters and a Nikon 75mm lens. The setup allows a range of approx 0.5x to 2x magnification (relative to camera sensor), allowing full Lincoln Cent imaging at 0.5x and variety imaging at 2x.
Here are images of the stand in both configurations:

The microscope stand and pod are used/surplus items, cleaned and calibrated, but showing cosmetic marks from use. Stand has US Navy serial number plate. Reversible black/white stage plate is new. Bellows is NOS. Lens and camera adapters are new. Lens is used but cleaned and inspected for haze/fungus/scratches.
Setup is guaranteed to satisfy or returnable for refund within 30 days.
I need to know what camera you will be using so I can include the correct adapter. I have Nikon and Canon adapters available. Other cameras can be accommodated but may cause delay in shipping.
I'm asking $390 for the setup, plus $16 shipping by USPS Priority mail Large Flat Rate Box with Delivery Confirmation in US.
Payment accepted by PayPal, Personal Check, or Money Order. Also will accept OBW Lincoln Wheat Cent rolls in full or partial trade.
