This is an example of a animated slideset. You are looking at a
Daphnia (water flea) - although the sequence is quite brief. To
ensure Microscope for the PC does not cost you a lot of much money to
evaluate, this slideset along with the core software and the Guide02
slideset were designed to fit onto 2 shareware discs. If you wish to
make up your mind about Microscope's potential before registering for
a professional version or unlimited shareware use licence, other
shareware packs exist with both 'still' and 'animated' slidesets in
greater detail; please consult your local Shareware disc vendor.
This slideset provides a glimpse at what Microscopy has to offer -
either from your armchair, using Microscope for the PC - or by buying
a real Microscope yourself.
As the author of this software, I would recommend Microscopy as a
rewarding hobby especially to any like-minded person who shares my own
intrigue for reflecting on life and the meaning of the universe.
It also provides a relaxing aside from the pressures of modern life.
I never meant to become involved with Microscopy as a hobby: I simply
thought it would be interesting to build some software on the subject.
That was over two years ago and the time spent since, and what I
discovered on the way has changed my view of the world quite a lot.
The more I look, the more I see - forever stunned by events I never
suspected existed. For example, this tiny water flea spinning on a
drop of water no larger than a tear-drop reminds me of what an
enormous universe a simple pond must be to the creatures within.
I am without doubt that everything I have witnessed has taught me more
about my own existence and revealed more about the purpose of the
cosmos and my tiny part within it, than anything I have ever seen.
It is a pity I did not discover such amazing beauty a long time
ago. This water-flea may spin instinctively and never know that - for
a brief moment - it was caught in the full glare of my camera, a tiny
life in a mighty universe; but I will always know how fragile a moment
it had: maybe our own lives are not so different?
If you would like to change your perception of everything around you -
go buy a Microscope! If time or money stops you - register for
Microscope for the PC, sit back in your chair and let me take you with
me on an incredible journey into the unknown.
