Well a very kind neighbour bought me another transformer but without a plug but I have decided to wait sorting this issue out until I can set up my microscope desk in the new observatory... casting the part for the pier is my main priority as until that is sorted all other things must wait.
I finally talked the previous owner of the microscope into letting me mention his kindness.
So let it be known that it was our member from the USA Thomas, a member here with user name Leee, who kindly sent me my wonderful new microsope...Thomas is a retired Micro Biologist so I feel confident that I now have a professional standard microscope perhaps much better than what I would have purchased.
We had agreed that I pay the postage but when Thomas found out the microscope sustained some minor damage in the post he would only let me pay half...I would not hear of such a thing given it was no way his fault particularly the enormous care he went to with the packaging...however he was so insistent that I bow to his wishes that finally I did...I am forever in his debt.
Not only do I thank Thomas for his wonderful gift but also for enabling me to become interested in biology...which now sees me reading (watching) everything I can get my eyes on in this area.
The activity of cells and their components is fascinating ...I am absolutely taken with how motor proteins function at a molecular level and the significance of mitacondiria in our evolution...it is something that everyone should know and why we are different to bacteria for example.
Thomas I doubt if I can ever thank you enough but you have given me a whole new exciting interest that has me looking forward to all the new things that I can see and learn each day.
Thank you.
Alex
