From: Jim Thompson on 24 Mar 2010 14:05 Trying to take close-ups of chips, is there some kind of stand/tripod to hold a camera pointing downward onto a desk surface?

If you want really good pictures... Microscopes usually include good illumination setups. They often have a 3rd port setup for a camera. Some have no eye-ball ports, just USB to your computer. For a chip, you don't need high magnification, at least relative to what many other people need. Try searching for inspection microscope or disecting microscope. Most of what you find will probably be more expensive than you will like but you might find something that catches your eye or get some ideas. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.

You may laugh - I do this: Gorilla-Pod (Google it - great invention) wrapped around the old- fashioned fluorescent lamp that hangs over my desk. From which digital camera dangles. Using close-up mode. Wiggle desk lamp until camera points where you want and to what depth. Take photo. Should appeal to the frugal in all of us :-) -- Silvar Beitel
