Sounds complicated, and it really is!
Have to hold one camera over the eyepiece and the other at the other end. Need an extra two arms!
4X obj, 10X eyepiece
and the coin in my collection!(I sometimes find foreign coins and then bring them home!)

Using two phones to capture a dime!!
Experimenting using two phones, one as the camera, the other as a light source!

Hi Cyclops,
It's a very different subject to your dead fly posting (levels and dof particularly) so not that straightforward to compare. However it seems to me that the results with the extra lighting are very much better - in fact quite extraordinary considering that both camera and light source were hand held. Well done!

I wont be doing this too often, not unless I can grow an extra hand or two!
Interestingly both phones are similar but the new one, which I originally decided to use as the camera,took really poor pics. Even at the 2MP setting the pics looked like a mosaic, you know when you can se the pixels on an image thats blown up too muc. So I went back to old faithful W800i and used the new one as the light, much better!
The phones use LEDS as a light source and Ive seen some mention of LED light sources on the net.
