Am contemplating to do a reimplementation of the New Stereology set of measurement tools. Was involved a dozen years ago, writing the first (Amiga) and second (Windows) implementations of the computer program called Grid. First step would be to get hands on a copy of the manual that Prof. Gundersen and I coauthored.
HAH - got it! Nice overview of what needs to be done.

Got my QX3+ microscope yesterday. Cool toy for $45! Great out-of-box experience, Just Works.

Would be nice to get to it's native resolution (VCD compatible).

Well of course - it turns out that it has a (simple) TWAIN interface. Favorite graphics program, here we come.
