Hello, I don't know. It might be worth looking at the Brunel Microscopes page. Let me know what you decide. The Lensman does NOT get good reviews though. For...
... Hi, I have greatly improved the quality of my QX3 images by taking 5 at a time, and then coadding them with the AstroStack tool. You can see my images at: ...
Hello, Reply: The QX3 has fixed magnifications of x10 x60 and x200, the last one being of very poor quality. Cheers Andy Horton [Non-text portions of this...

Hi All, I have made a new folder in Photos named "Bill" and up loaded some pictures I have taken. I have been happy with my QX3 and thrilled with the value of...
Hello, It is good value for money, but in the UK it has been hyped up to be much better than it was. It is also more expensive nearer the equivalent of $80. It...
I need some help.... I am trying to help my boss out with a problem. She has about 4000 files in her sample directory. You can tell she really loves this ...
I like my QX3 and use it for microfossil work. For the price there is NOTHING that competes. However, it is true that the 200x shows no more detail than the...

Ok, Thanks, I tried it but I might not have explained myself well enough. The Microscope saves off the images in a .smp format. I have 4000 of these. I tried...
Hello ACDSee is a genius (i.e.. very useful) program and the latest version is even better and works under XP. The XP Picture Viewer is really awful if you...
Andy, It sure looks like a great program. I have been playing with it for about 2 hours but cannot get it to read the .smp format. Could be the version I have....
Hello, My QX3 only exports in *jpg or *.bmp. That natural first thing to try would be an extension (suffix) change to *.bmp (from *.smp). Under ACDSee...

Hello, The puzzle is that the suffix *.smp is not a normal (one that I have heard of) image suffix. Can the files be viewed in ACDSee or any popular package...
