Re: Toupview query!
I failed to mention; reduce the ZOOM % the box should appear, You can then move it so it remains
on the video as you increase the ZOOM %.

Re: Toupview query!
When you open white balance a red adjustable/moveable rectangle will come up on you video. Try to adjust the exposure time to darken or brighten the video, it should show up.

Re: OMAX 5MP A3550U Camera & ToupView software
I took 3 photos with the 40x objective of an algae strand, cells measuring 17um by 8um using the lower resolution video 1280 X 960 and 100% zoom. The 640 X 480 was useless due to the need to increase zoom to 200% and total pixilation . The 3 photos ended up with different focal points, one of which ...

Re: Stacked Photo
Thank you so much everyone for your response and help identifying this Difflugia Test.

correct decision.

Re: OMAX 5MP A3550U Camera & ToupView software
Hi everyone, I believe the delay in focus is caused by the microprocessor speed at the high resolution setting, when looking up the specs of the OMAX 5MP camera I believe the recommended speed was 2GB. Most computers these days meet this, such as the dual core processors. My lap top meets the requir...

Re: Water Bear
Great Photo, got to see our first and only one back in 12/7/15 right after getting my microscope, no camera at the time. He was on his back with legs going in all directions. I had collected moss from my back yard from the ground and the lower part of a few trees. Let it sit in well water over night...

Re: OMAX 5MP A3550U Camera & ToupView software
Hi John B, Bad news, My version of ToupView doesn't work with individual consecutive overlapping photos. It works directly from a short video based on the first frame as a reference. So far it appears to be a slow process with poor results; I guess I'm doing it incorrectly. I have used ICE for many ...

Re: OMAX 5MP A3550U Camera & ToupView software
Hi Bill & John, Thanks for the info, I found that I use the EXPOSURE setting most of the time & leave the gain alone, Also the WHITE BALANCE once in a while. Give HUE a tweek & check the HISTOGRAM. Guess I'll have to dig into the software a bit more for the rest of it. One question though, I can't g...

Re: Trying to keep a long story short
For anyone interested in purchasing the small water bear like the one I gave my wife
see the shapeways site listed below. I believe the price is around $20.00 plus shipping.
Good selection of color & materials but cost can increase.

Anyone out there have the OMAX or Amscope cameras? I have the OMAX 5MP for several weeks now & starting to get the hang how to set it up for good quality photos & videos.

Trying to keep a long story short
For my 9th birthday (1948) my father took me to the Bowery in NY city (pawnshop row) from our home in Mountain View NJ. He purchased a small microscope in a very nice wood case, I believe manufactured in Japan with 100, 200 & 300X, very good quality. During the next 5+ years I spent many hours with ...
