My Microscope is Back


      This shot was from nearly eight years ago when my Motic Microscope was still working. The Motic plugged right into a USB port, and the scope picture came up on the screen. You could take still pictures or videos, add a measuring stick, and add commentary. Then the computer became infected with a virus that stopped just about everything, and since the computer was old and SLOW, I bought a new one. The new computer had a new operating system that Motic did not support, so that was the end of the microscope fun.
       Between yesterday and this morning I spent maybe three hours on the Web reading about getting rid of the old virus.  Using rkill and Malwarebytes, I was successful in getting the old computer to run.  It works the old Motic software and microscope just fine.  Slow as molasses on the internet, but it will now be used only to drive the microscope.  Hope to have new pictures soon and often.
       Here are the rest of the pictures from 2006 and one from 2008:
