[Histonet] Digital microscope camera

[John Kiernan]

Look up Motic Images on the Web. They sell cameras with a set of adapters for eyepiece, C-mount etc. I bought one about 4 years ago for about $300. It will take still pictures or movies up to about 30 seconds - good for living protozoa that won't keep still for you to have a good look at them. The software that comes with the Motic camera isn't compatible with Windows Vista, unfortunately, but I expect they'll be attending to that.
