Introduction to Ray Pooley

#1 Post by pooleyr » Wed Oct 19, 2016 4:05 pm

Hi

I'm Ray Pooley.

I have had a a number of careers in my time. I have been a Construction Engineer, a Banker (booo!) and a Software Engineer.

In 1985 I studied and gained my 2nd Degree: a BA degree in Biology. The first degree was a BSc in Mechanical Engineering.

I also have an MSc in Computer Architectures and Software Engineering. The things you have to do to earn a living hey??

Anyway, I recently retired aged 65. You start looking for something to do.

One the most enjoyable aspects of my BA Biology studies was the microscopy. I always told myself that, one day, I would buy
myself a decent microscope and spend more time looking into it.

So here I am. I have just bought a YBB 136E Binocular Compound microscope. So its all systems go.

However, I have a bit of a problem with my microscope that I need to sort out.

I will create a posting on the General Forum, since there doesn't appear to be a more specific
Trouble shooting one.

I would very much appreciate it if you guys could offer some advise.

Thanks

Ray Pooley
