$350 Dino-Lite vs $20 GSI USB Microscope comparison
« on: February 13, 2013, 11:39:20 AM »
First photo was captured with the Dino-Lite Pro AM411 which I payed $350 for when they first came out.






Second photo was captured with the GSI 500 X Series which I payed $20 for last week.

 



Here is what the coin looks like in hand

That close up really does look nice on the dino-lite. If you use it all the time it is worth every penny. I have a very early model that I use but its not nearly as clear and good as this one is. Thanks for showing us.

Lighting is very important, and trying to get the coin to look at is does in hand can be very hard to do. The dino-lite seems to do a good job.
