Need a cost-effective macro photography setup to replace a high-DPI scanner for capturing flat documents with optical-level quality at up to 30x magnification.
High-DPI scanners are limited in quality, pocket magnifiers don't save images, entry-level digital microscopes have poor image quality, and professional solutions are too expensive (€7000).
