Can't say I've ever seen such a microscope which has the eye-piece(s) on the
same side of the stand as the slide-holder.  It looks nice though, only thing is
that it seems to have gray metal parts that might be better if chromed or have
shinier metal anyway.  The turret seems alright for the finish anyhow.  I think
the lenses might be too near the center though.

Most modern microscopes are build that way, especialy when it has a 
reflected light option.

The microscopes in my biology classroom have eyepieces that can be rotated to a

Yes, I never used microscopes before. I only saw some images on sites
that sell electronic microscope. like these :
http://www.greatscopes.com/medschool.html
http://www.microscopeworld.com/high/hpre.htm#162

According to all the examples I saw, the eye-piece can be rotated...
My Microscope is a mix of them all ; ) 

For me the toughest thing to build are the textures not the coding.

Thank you

You mean you didn't hand code the textures, <runs out to find the

Hello
No no no.  Not all the textures. Maybe when I will be better at pov.
I wanted to learn the textures with examples of Moray.
So I did some examples with the textures editor that comes with
Moray and rendered some spheres on a checked floor to try the
syntax by copy paste the generated code.  This was hell to view the
possibilities
and when I was familiarated a little more with the pigments and textures.
Then I writed my own declarations of textures and material and assigned
them to some objects of the scene.

If you want you can go take a look of my first really serious project 100%
code Pov.
On my site http://w3.arobas.net/~hardcore/ You can cut and paste
code http://w3.arobas.net/~hardcore/MicroCodeSource.htm  and render
it for fun. I got other code and images form previous version too when I was
learning the step by step modeling.

But now I do not think I will be using Moray to make code pigments and
textures examples anymore exept for the media effects stuff that is very
difficult (at my opinion) thing to learn them.

I know someone who did a really cool pov code that helps people learning how
to understand textures by coding them.
http://www.multimania.com/martialrameaux/
(It is in french).       I prefer this than Moray.

Can one of the French speaking folk please make this gem accessible to
the rest of us? Personally I would like to see if this one is what I
hope it is.

While I agree that it has some weaknesses it is also not without
it's advantages. Certainly someone as highly intellegent as your-
self will no have problems reading between the lines as it were.

Ah, when you said you didn't hand code them I thought you used photoshop or
something.  I very rarely create an object or texture from scratch, I usually
copy a bit from an old file, like a colour map, just because I know the code
in the old file worked and had correct syntax, and just change the settings
to suit the new scene.

Peter, 
I just translate the page about the textures. I'm doing the others, but
you'll have to wait to see them. The URL is the following one:
http://www.chez.com/Pov1.html
I change nothing at all (except one line, but I wrote the fact that I
modified it) so, the only thing you can reproach me is the typing
mistakes :)
