Let's talk about lighting
Since recently purchasing the Celestron 5 MP Handheld Digital Microscope Pro, I discovered that the microscope works very well and does what it is supposed to do. But, proper lighting to achieve a true color photo of a Lincoln cent has become a challenge.
I found this Dec. 2017 article written in CoinWeek and found it interesting that in the grading rooms of the major TPG's, they are literally sitting in the dark with an incandescent light source.
Here's the article https://coinweek.com/education/coin-...lights-loupes/
Understanding how consistency and accuracy is important for TPG's and their customers, I have tried to apply this same principle to coin photography. My reason for starting this thread is to see how we can work together in an effort to achieve a simple, practical, inexpensive solution that would work for everybody, under any conditions, night or day.
Then I found this article:

Under #5 this article references the "Tensor Light and the Ottlite" Is anyone familiar with either of these two? I researched and found several different ones of each type.
