Is there some other software I can use to take photos with this microscope...I am not able to use the software that came with the scope..it worked for awhile but now it gives me an "abnormal program termination" error..anyone have suggestions?

Try uninstalling the software. Rebooting the computer and reinstalling the software. That should work. LMK. Make sure the unit is unplugged until the software is removed and reinstalled.

I received this camera from my father, during a visit, and played around with it a bit, recording and getting used to it, then I tried inserting the mem card into my 2010 MacBookPro and it can not read it, I can't find the booklet nor the software, I am looking on amazon to find out more about it ....

As others have reported the resolution is less than your eye is, the focus needs to be changed slightly as the camera is in a different position in the optical path. The colors are set by the camera, which are off from what your eye sees more greenish as I remember. I don't use it much, or rely on it, its just a fun option. For the price I like the microscope though. I wouldn't return it. If you want something better, you need to purchase different microscope.

A CD came with my microscope that included drivers and utilities. A Google search for "Digimicro USB microscope driver download" resulted in several sites. Hope this helps.

I no longer have a Mac but the microscope does come with Mac Drivers. The site also says they have software available for download so I assume it includes Mac. Actually this works as same as a webcam but with macro ability.

I was able to use it as a webcam a couple of times after I bought, but not any more. Probably a Windows update rendered the software incompatible and Sanyo hasn't bothered to release an update. There certainly is nothing on their website. At least I'd like an explanation.

This microscope is very good. It would probably work for what you intend to do with it. I bought it to use with a DVD Biology course I bought.

If you mean can you buy an eyepiece camera and hook that up to the microscope, then yes. Just buy a high quality camera. I bought a $50 camera and used my computer monitor to see the images, but they weren't of good resolution.

I received an email back from Nikon and they sent me an upgraded version of their software. I have not had the chance to do that yet (our internet has been out for the last few days so this is why its taken me so long to respond), and we are headed out the door for vacation tomorrow. I can say that I purchased a $20 card reader (with 4G memory card) from our local office supply store and it worked so easy. Pretty much the same as plugging in your camera really. I liked that I could import them straight into iPhoto that way. All I did was plug in the card reader then open up iPhoto and the pictures were there to be downloaded just like any other import. I really don't think its SO hard or anything like that. Maybe just a quirk of this particular camera. Again, I'll try the software when I get home after vacation and if you want can let you know how it works. In other news, I still really like the camera and I guess a good test will be vacation this week. The pictures are really stunning compared to our old Pentax.

Hi, Anybody have trouble with the software aspect? I am running into trouble with the driver intalls, in particular the DLLs, and the worst is driver CNMBR333, even with the updated drivers. I already email tech suppport and they responded quickly but their solution didnt work. I wont hear again till tommorow but since so many others here are enthused about what is definitley a quality printer that even make standard paper printouts seem like photo paper, I though maybe someone with a bit more experience with install issues might be able to help.Thank You Regardless

is a normal microscope usb camera, only it brings a setting at the top is rotating and that's where the zoom is magnified or as it is known, is necessary to install the software and other software that does not meet the specifications, in my particularly as I worked well greetings

I too have one of these that has the same problem. Seems like Olympus should do something about this problem as it seems to be more common than one would think. I have cleaned mine, blew it out etc and nothing works. Just keep getting the zoom error. I agree that their diagnotic check is way too high. Maybe a class action suit would take care of our problem??

Hi, Can anyone confirme if (in Snow Leopard) the ImageCapture or Preview app can scan from this scanner (if USB connected) ?I wouldn't like to use brother's software...Thanks very much,Dany.

This is a very well built microscope, easy to use, simple to load onto a computer, very good optics for the price. I have found nothing to dislike about this combo. Whether it will do what you want for that specific application, I say you need to try it. I would GUESS that you would be satisfied.

Hi there,Yes, you do need some kind of webcam software in order to view the images through the microscope. We recommend using 3rd party webcam software for Macs, but on Windows the Microcapture software that comes with the microscope would work well.EllenPlugable Support
