    Suggestions for Particle Counting Microscope?

    HDS & IRstuff - Thanks for the good input on FOV. We have the capability of attaching a camera to the microscope but the magnification # goes out the window and we can't tell what it is unless we use a precisely delineated background. I will check out the ImageTool soft. floattuber - We...

    Suggestions for Particle Counting Microscope?

    I need to determine the particle count captured on a filter paper but I'm new to the game. So I need help from the more experienced! I'm looking to pick up an microscope for counting those particles manually. Any brand y'all recommend? Any features to pay attention to? Some background info: We...

    SolidWorks 2008 shipment

    SolidWorks has announced that "starting with SolidWorks 2008 the product will only be available on DVDs. No Cds will be available." Now there is another move from this company that I do not understand at all... and this is coming from the SW fan that I am. Granted more and more people are using...

    Locating a swx VAR

    CorBlimeyLimey: Thanks for the link! I will try that. I did actually call the SW rep of my area. But because I am already with a VAR, he would not give me the names of other resellers.

    Using a tablet with SolidWorks?

    Thanks for the valuable input guys. smcadman: Yes, I was talking about a pen tablet. The pen tablet is probably not faster than a traditional pointing device, I agree, but it would guess that it relieves any stress on the hand. The problem is that after a few hours of SW, my hand start to...

    Using a tablet with SolidWorks?

    Has anyone ever used a tablet with SW? From all the threads on the forum, it seems like most people are using trackballs and spaceballs. But to me it would just seem more natural to use a pen as an alternative input device in SW... What do you guys think? Has anyone tried to use such a device...
