    Interesting! Is a digital scope like a microscope? What is the magnification? Posted 5 years ago

      It is a digital microscope. Magnification is 20-200x, but it is only 5MP max. And, it is a massive pain to focus --very sensitive. Sometimes I have to actually hold the fine focus dial in place while taking a photo. Good enough for now though. Posted 5 years ago

        That is interesting. I'm not saying you need this but when buying that macro rail I noticed in their shop this device:
        https://www.wemacro.com/?product=micromate

        It's sole purpose seems to be to control the dial of a microscope, in tiny steps. Of course this doesn't solve other sources of vibration.         Posted 5 years ago

          That's crazy! Who would have thought that something like that even exists. Posted 5 years ago

            Well, at least the person running that shop. Posted 5 years ago
