The Microscope group would like to take this moment to welcome
new members and encourage them to post.  We want to hear from
you
  Amateurs, professionals and hobbyists of all ages and experience are
welcome.  No question is too advanced, too new, too large or too
small to not merit attention.  No information is too insignificant that it
would not surely be of interest to someone.  Whether you're 8 years
old with a Tasco or a senior citizen with a Zeiss you are an important part of this group with much to contribute.

Our group has a files section with a 2 GB capacity.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Microscope/files/
We use this for .PDF files and other documentation.

There is also a photos section with a 100 GB capacity.
http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/Microscope/lst
It's purpose is the posting of pictures in .gif or .jpg format

Bookmarks is a section for posting links to micro related web sites,
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Microscope/links
and the database
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Microscope/database
contains references to books and a "Wanted or Offered" section for
members to buy, sell or trade microscope items.

All members are encouraged to utilize these features whether posting
or just surfing around.  It is a great way to broaden your horizons and learn.
Picture posters are requested to freshen up their folders with new
stuff.  New pics are always welcome.  Do not hesitate to post pics of
equipment and collection sites as well as micro images or photos.
Heck, if anything post your ugly mug.  We'd like to see that too!
Always inform the group if you add anything new and always supply a
link.  Many members receive messages by email and it is a great
convenience for them.

We do request that on topic verbal discussions are carried out on the
Microscope group for all to read and respond to.  Occasional diversions 
are tolerated if in good taste.  If you need help, ask the group, the Owner or 
a Moderator.

Have fun and think small!
The Microscope Group
