Re: Zenith SCM-200

I had a look through groups searching on "Cunningham" "monocular"
"damage". It seems that extended use of a monocular, particularly if
someone is not used to it, may cause eye-strain. I may have read some
of this wrong, but I did read that keeping the "other" eye relaxed
while looking is a "skill that needs to be learnt".

As one other possibility, I have downloaded and installed the linux
drivers for the Digital Blue QX5 microscope, and they compile and
install fine. Though without a microscope I cannot tell if they
actually work properly on my machine. Though it looks very likely.

Thinking about some of the things mentioned here, I think he might get
frustrated with a normal microscope. It might be a good idea if he
learns about focussing using the close range binoculars I have, so
that there's not so much of a learning curve when we get a microscope.
