CLUBS
-----
Two societies in England can be joined by people interested in
Microscopy - one of these is associated with the Natural History
Museum. Please write to Maurice Smith at Molcol Software for further
details.
If you are not in the UK and know of other such clubs and societies
in your own country- Please let me know! I wish to establish contact
between different groups interested in Microscopy and I am 'Championing'

========================================================================
USA, CANADA, AND ADJACENT AREAS
-------------------------------
Slidesets are sold as packs, normally several slidesets of many images
to a disk. To offer these relatively cheaply outside the United
Kingdom it is not feasible to ship single disks. Instead all prices have
been simplified for non-UK customers. You can order direct from Molcol
Software at a cost of $9.00 (USA Dollars per disk) but all orders must
be for at least 3 DISKS. No additional shipping or handling charges need
to be added. As you become aware of the growing range of PROfessional
slidesets, simply choose the ones you would like, make sure they total
at least 3 disks and send a cheque for $27.00 (USA dollars)
Any additional slideset disks can be included on the same order for the
reduced price of $8.00 (USA dollars). Here is an example:-
You want 3 disks - send $27.00
You want 5 disks - send $43.00
All payments for slidesets should be by way of a cheque to MOLCOL SOFTWARE,
SENT TO THE ADDRESS ABOVE. PLEASE REMEMBER TO INCLUDE YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS
AS WELL AS THE NAMES OF THE SLIDESET PACKS YOU REQUIRE.
Your Cheques should be made out in your local currency when writing the
amount in words. If we experience any problems with our bank accepting
the cheque, we will contact you to offer alternative ways of making
the transaction. In most cases, this will not be necessary.
Above all, do not be put off of using our products because we are remote
from you by separate countries. Our aim is to establish international
links between people interested in Microscopy in general, and we will
try every means to ensure you are able to use our product and enjoy the
more general establishment of common information exchange between
Microscopy-interested users.

in the Licensing agreements defined below.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Summary:-
---------
These slidesets contain slides taken from PROFESSIONAL slideset
packs normally purchasable for use with MICROSCOPE for the PC
(PRO) Ver 1.0. They have been distributed as SHAREWARE to enable
users of the Professional Version of Microscope to gain an insight
into which slidesets they may wish to purchase. The slidesets in
this pack can be viewed with all Licensed Versions of Microscope
for the PC, and with the unlicensed SHAREWARE Version distributed
for initial evaluation of the software.
Licensing Agreement:-
----------------------
This is very simple. Users of UNLICENSED or UNREGISTERED versions
of Microscope for the PC may view these slidesets for a limited
period - a few weeks. If after such time, they do not wish to
register, licence, or purchase a version of Microscope for the PC -
then they should remove the SHAREWARE slideset pack files from
their hard-disk, and erase all files on the distribution disk.
Licensed & Registered users of Microscope for the PC may continue
using the SLIDESET PACK indefinitely. They are considered Licensed
users of all slidesets in this pack. They need take no further
action to register the pack with MOLCOL SOFTWARE. They may wish
however, to purchase 1 or more of the PRO slideset packs
advertised here but are under no obligation to do so. Details of
purchase fees and arrangements are given below.
SAFETY
------
It is wise to copy the floppy disk contents onto another formatted
floppy disk as soon as possible. This provides you with a 'back-up'
of the files, should the distribution disk become corrupted for some
reason. There should be no need to remove the write protection on
the floppy during the copying or installation process.
More Slidesets
--------------
Other slidesets are available. The wealth and range of slidesets are
constantly being added to. Example of PRO slidesets are released as
Shareware slidesets to help you see what is available for direct
purchase. Check computer magazine adverts, Shareware distributors,
or write to us for a list of slidesets and the subjects being
covered. If you would like to see specific topics, subjects, objects
etc., added to the range then please let us know. An order form to
help you purchase a PRO slideset pack is included below. This can be
printed using your normal text editor.

This SHAREWARE pack contains 2 competitions open to everyone
irrespective of which version of Microscope for the PC they have.
People with PRO versions may have a slight edge in one of the
competitions because of the additional features in their software.
Users of evaluation versions may also enter!
A single prize will be awarded by MOLCOL SOFTWARE to 1 winner for
each of the two competitions. The following details describe both
competitions, the rules, and the prizes to be won. The prizes are
moderate: the aim of these competitions is to encourage users of
Microscope for the PC to become familiar with the controls and to
promote independent research in young users.
If a school wishes to submit entries by many students or teachers,
it would be helpful if they indicate whether the prize should be
awarded to the school or to the student. If a school wins the prize
then a site-licence will be included with the prize to enable use
on Microscope PRo on 10 computers at the same site.
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
▓ Competition 1 ▓
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
The SHAREWARE slideset called SHARNOR1 included in this pack has
a slide of an insect which is not identified in the associated text.
This slide displays with a title of 'GUESS See Text' and is the
6th slide in the SHARNOR1 slideset.
The aim of the competition is to identify the insect and provide
proof to us (MOLCOL). This can take the form of duplicated reference
material. In addition, your entry must include an idea for an
interesting slideset which could be used with Microscope for the PC.
You should explain what this should be by including a written page
of less than 200 words.
In the event of more than 1 person correctly identifying the subject
in the slide, this paper and idea will be judged by Molcol to help
determine a winner. Should Molcol decide to develop a slideset based
on the idea then Molcol will hold all rights to the slideset
developed: the person submitting the idea will have no connected
rights to the slideset nor the development based on the idea.
The competition entries will be judged by Molcol. The winner will
receive a prize of 1 Microscope for the PC (PRO) version 1.0
package or a cheque for £25.00; the choice between these 2 prizes
to be determined by the winner. No additional correspondence will be
entered into by MOLCOl and no submissions will be returned.
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
▓ Competition 2 ▓
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
The SHAREWARE slideset called SHARNOR1 included in this pack has
a slide of an OLEANDER LEAF vascular bundle which has been
artificially altered by us to include the alphabetical letters:
M O L C O L . These are not easily seen as each letter has been
artfully placed into the normal details of the slide.
The slide displays with a title of 'OLEANDER LEAF - MOLCOL' and
is the 7th slide in the SHARNOR1 slideset.
The aim of the competition is to create a TUTORIAL FILE on disc
which contains indicators pointing at each letter and identifying
what each letter is. Users will need to use the various controls
of Microscope for the PC to help reveal where exactly in the slide
these letters are placed.
The entries to MOLCOL should consist of 1 x 3.5 inch floppy disc
(HD or DD) containing the user's SHARNOR1.CRE file as created by
him/her when using Microscope for the PC (any version). In addition,
you should include a paper of less then than 30 words of why you
would like to win MICROSCOPE FOR THE PC (PRO) VERSION 1.0 or the
prize of £25.00.
The best presented user-created tutorial file correctly identifying
the 6 letters will help determine the winner. The outright winner
will be determined by Molcol in the event of many equally-presented
and correct entries, and will be based on the reason for wanting to
win the prize. No additional correspondence will be entered into by
Molcol and no disk or other material submitted to MOLCOL will be
returned.
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
▓ Competitions 1 & 2 ▓
▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓
In all submissions please include:-
Your name & address.
Your choice of prize: Microscope for the PC or £25.00
Which competition you are submitting for - 1, 2 or both.
Material as specified above.
Closing Dates:-
All entries must be received by Molcol Software by March 1st 1994.
Judgement will be made to issue prizes by March 31st 1994.
Winners will be notified by post.
NOTE: If the quantity of submissions received become so great that
it becomes impossible to check every entry then MOLCOL reserve
the right of awarding prizes to the first correct entry drawn
randomly from all received.
The competitions are not open to people working on behalf of MOLCOL
SOFTWARE & BRUNEL EQUIPMENT nor their families.

This pack contains several slidesets revealing Wasps as predators of
the air. As the name implies, the pack focuses on the formidable
attack and defence capability of this mighty creature. Included with

This pack contains a single slideset BIO1. The slideset is aimed
at GCSE O & GCSC A levels students of Biology. It is the first
of the BIOLOGY slidesets covering the basic principles of plant,
cell, and insect structures. The subject matter is too wide for
a single slideset pack to cover and further slidesets will be
issued to build knowledge in this area.
The pack will be of interest to BIOLOGY students, teachers, and
also people who possess BRUNEL EQUIPMENT'S real slideset by the
same name. This electronic slideset helps identification and
understanding of BRUNEL slides in this range which were used as
the source material for this pack.
SLIDES included in the pack cover: MAIZE STEM, PINE STEM, FROG SKIN,
MIRACIDIUM, OLEANDER LEAF, ONION TIP, HONEY BEE LEG, FROM SMALL
INTESTINE, HYDRA ETC.,
The slideset serves as an introduction to this important area of
study. All slides contain material carefully checked against
different sources to ensure accuracy of educational content.
Specialised slidesets of this nature require considerable work
and special time-consuming techniques are employed to enhance the
images to ensure their detail are clear and appropriate to learning
requirements. This is reflected in the slightly dearer price of these
PRO slidesets.

full PRO version makes more and better organised slidesets
available for your use.
Microscope for the PC has just begun - why not get the full benefit
and support now and be one of the first to get informed of the
constant development evolving this original Software into one of the
Master-pieces of today.
So much is planned: licensed users are customers forever valued
by Molcol. As such they will reap the benefits of trusting in
us. Full details regarding registration can be found in Microscope
for the PC main software.

A real optical microscope does not cost a fortune and provides the
basis of a hobby and past-time for life. This is a fascinating
subject and ideal for anyone of any age to become involved with.
The hobby is ideal in Summer for collecting specimens and ideal
in Winter where long dark nights provide opportunity for mounting
and viewing slides. Many clubs abound with slideset libraries.
