Congrats Ron….sorry to hear about the bad Global experience. That is not common in my experience , but it is what it is.

If you do want to make a comment , try reaching Mr. Jerry Garbutt who is the president of Global at jgarbutt@globalsurgical.com

Its amazing to see what you can at high mag with the scope. I just did a redo on a mucocoele this morning and oh my god, to watch mucous excreting out on the incision and to see how deep I had to go….its frightening sometimes.

Anyways thanks for the kudos and there are multiple levels of information on the DVD. Early on something makes sense that is basic but with time you will find that information that you didnt comprehend early on makes sense.

If you need any other information please dont hesitate to contact me. Heck if Kimmel can learn to use a scope anyone can!!

(Just kidding)

I’m just glad you didn’t show the photo through the scope!

David , the Seiler scope has such a bad lighting system I am surprised you didnt get your hands all wet. I was going to take a picture myself with my Global scope in a similar fashion……..

But gosh the water was cold, and deep too!!

You really make me laugh sometimes…….

Good one

Glenn

Ron , he actually has mulitple mounts and just carries the optics around the house. He has one in the workshop to get the splinters out of his ……..

Another in the library to read the fineprints in his laser warrantee contracts.

One in the kitchen to accurately measure for those christmas recipes…

We saw in the bathroom………shameless.

Now the bedroom, well that one had to be a ceiling mount because the trampoline on the floor , the mirrors on the walls and ceilings and the trapeze…..well you know how crowded our operatories are………

Take care

Happy holidays to all………

Glenn

” You have to see what to treat, before you can treat what you see.”

One thing I would recommend without being there is to try setting your camera to infinty. The other is to  use the Zoom on your camera to match what you are seeing on the monitor to what you are seeing on your led screen. I would also open up my f-stops to a smaller number. Digital-still cameras require much more light than video cameras which require low lux.
You have a dual purpose beam-splitter which has an 80-20 port on one side for the video camera where 80% goes to your eyes and 20 % goes to the video camera. On the other side of your beamsplitter, there is another port with a 50/50 split which gives more light to the G-5 Digital Camera. That is the side to mount your digital camera on. You might have this reversed.

I hope this gets you on your way.

Snowed out today, so time to play!

Neat stuff Ron………didnt notice this.

Hey a question to those of you like Ron and David using scopes. Do you find it beneficial compared to your loupes for the laser, and if you look at the operative site with your loupes and the scope at the same mag, does the light (coaxial shadow free lighting) and the increased diameter of the field of magnification provide you more information with the microscope than the set of loupes.

I ask because it does seem that more people using lasers are contemplating scopes and I have to present a hands on workshop at the ALD with Scott Benjamin on magnification alternatives and the laser.
