[Rockhounds] ? for helicon/stage users

[Dennis Buffenmyer]

I am fairly certain that helicon is going to offer me the software 
solution I am looking for in trying to stack some micro mount pix. Does 
anyone make a small stage that would elevate from a flat surface to be 
used with a trinocular microscope, and of course the usb camera is a 
fixed focal range so the stage itself would need to go up and down, I'm 
assuming with some manner of encoder to step the focus higher or 
lower... any help on this would be appreciated... I think some of this 
may have been batted around not too long ago, but at that time, I was 
not paying enough attention, and did not know what I needed to know...
