Microscope's Crashed

G'Day allMy microscope crashed and took the computer with it ,great microscope but a shame I had it plugged in to the computer when it crashed,can anyone refer another type other than Digital Blue 5 (only three (3) settings 10X 60X 200X) one with camera that I can use with maybe 5X 10X 30X 60X 100X and a 200X or adjustable settings thanks Harry

Thanks for replying Tom I've sent an email off to them as the microscope doesn't say what the magnification is regards Harry

Harry....

What happened to the Digital Blue ? How did it take out your computer ?

Here's one that Stanley Gibbons sell... http://www.stanleygibbons.com/onlin...t-is-it.aspx

Thanks Tom they did email back to me and said they don't sell outside the States,oh how did the computer crash well I had the microscope plugged into the computer 24/7 as I use it for not only my stamps (Washington 2cent varieties) and covers also my coins (VAM's),the blue's powered by the computer and something in the digi blue let loose and took down the computer at the same time(could be image processor on the scope) I now have a new computer but need a microscope for studying my stamp veriations.Thanks Steve will have a look after this postregards Harry

Had a look Steve and at 89 pounds not including shipping I'll try more locally thanks again materegards

Yes, the conversion rate is a killer.

I just picked up a digital blue at the thrift store no software with it waiting to hear back about what to do

G'Day Tina there are two different cd's for the didgie blue 5 I have two copy's of one of the cd's,this is the one with the blue and white cover and the label reads "special effects software"If you want it you are quite welcome to have itregards Harry

Thanks nuggethill I ended up ordering it cost 5 bucks + 5 shipping really appreciate it tho

Not a problem Tina please keep me informed of your progress with the microscope

sure thing once I get the cd could you tell me what the thing does because like I said I read it on the forum that you wrote and then later that day ran across one at a thrift store it was 3 bucks so I grabbed it up was it worth the 13 bucks I have into it now

Hi Tinayou probably know this already but I'll take you through the steps and then tell you what it doesThis is what should happen,you put the cd in your computer drive,the computer will ask you if you want to install it (the cd) after installation a microscope icon will appear plug your microscope into the port click on the icon and within a few seconds you should see a tornado in center screen.You'll see your microscope's white led light (there's a red one on top that's just power) light up and your computer screen should show what the microscope sees,next you can place a stamp under the lens and after adjusting the focus then take a photo of your variations with the 10X or 60X magnification (say your Washington 2 cent variety)I also did use mine for my VAM varieties so its more a specialist tool oh and just a foot note(If the led light doesn't light up and you get a message instead (this could be a 109 message)this means your microscope may have a problem.)hope this helpsregards Harry

thanks for the info if I have any questions when I get the cd which should be tomorrow can I email you?

Yes Tina if you need me to answer any questions just email
