Tottleben Scientific Company, Inc. HYPERLINK "http://ccprod.roving.com/roving/images/letters/spacer.gif". Dear Microscopist: Every once in awhile a new product comes along in the world of microscopy that is truly worthy of 'sounding the horn'. We believe this is one of those times so......here it is.... our new "Eyepiece Video Camera"! It is the very first video camera designed especially to be used on your microscope's binocular. How about that? Now, among us microscope nerds that IS exciting news. About the size of a microscope eyepiece, this ingenious analog camera is easily put into use by removing an eyepiece from your microscope and replacing it with the camera. It is truly as easy as that. It is no longer an absolute must for you to have a "trinocular" microscope to perform video microscopy so this camera will work on any monocular, binocular, or even a trinocular microscope. Now you can see your microscopic images on any tv or, capture and store images on any computer with an additional capture board (a must for emailing images).

Eyepiece Video Camera How much would a camera that offers this much convenience and capability cost you are undoubtedly asking? And the answer is.....only $245 plus s/h/ins. If you plan on capturing images to your computer you will need a video capture board. We have one available with software for $99.50. (You might want to check your computer to see if you already have one because many of the new computers sold today already have them installed.) Both items can be ordered on-line right on our site or by calling our office.

Name Brand Used Microscopes In addition we have an abundance of name brand used microscopes like Zeiss, Leitz, Leica, Olympus, and Nikon. We also have used objectives, eyepieces, cameras, and many other microscope accessories for many name brand scopes so please email us or call our office for that 'hard to find' item - we just might have what you have been looking for!

Recent finds at the surplus shop

by jss＠subatomix.com

I bought a few things from the local university's surplus shop today. First, I needed a printer, my ink-guzzler having recently become unavailable. I found a LaserJet II, which should work nicely for what I need to do. It's also on-topic and looks it (in a good way). I'm guessing I'll want to get a 4MB memory module and a Postscript module for it. That stuff looks to be decently available on eBay. Cost: $25. I also picked up a microfiche viewer, as I have some manuals on fiche cards that I'd like to see. Cost: $10. I hope these things actually work... -- Jeffrey S. Sharp jss(a)subatomix.com

Small UNIX boxes (was RE: Netscape (was Re: PayPal = payola?))

I've got a few mini-Linux machines. The smallest is an NEC Versa UltraLite, with the runner up being IBM P70. Which reminds me -- anyone have a parts machine.
