Message: Peter Its what I used to do, but its not as easy as one of these microscopes. They only cost about 50 pounds so are relitively cheap, its easy to use when you have a couple of hundred stamps to look through when you are looking for errors or even fakes as you can get good images of the paper structure too. I will look into writing an article with illustrations and how to use the screen rulers to accurately measure things. The dark nights are drawing in so that will give me something to do that might help others. What level would it need to be aimed at? Regards Roger
