Eight years from
now
Eight years from now seems a long way
off. Eight years ago, we had just
started. What can be achieved in the
next eight years with the right
enthusiasm and vision can be something
which once could not possibly be conceived
would come true. I believe I can make
it come true. Not alone, not the way
things are currently done... but with
courage, flair, and above all
trust:
your trust in me!
I want
you to subscribe in your
thousands.
I won't take one penny of the
subscription fund for myself. What I
will do is use that finance to bring
microscopy with us into the 21st
century and beyond and - with your
help and support - leave a legacy to
the future that will be remembered as
a great turning point in this area of
scientific study by informally trained
people.
It is time to have our area of
interest recognized as a serious
amateur pursuit, the same way amateur
astronomy is recognized. This thing we
do is the one of the few areas of scientific
study and observation which remains
accessible to all without the need for
expensive equipment or a 'degree in
rocket science'.
Help provide me with the funds to
improve the way our subject of
interest is populated with material
and information to feed our curiosity
and improve our understanding. Help me
to preserve the know-how from the past
and disseminate it to thousands so
that the skills and expertise of past
microscopists are passed on to us and
to future enthusiasts.
If you could transform the world and
make it a better place for a few
dollars a year, you would, wouldn't
you. Well alas - you can't. But you can
transform the field of enthusiast
microscopy, you can help hold the past
before it fades away, you can help
rebuild this pursuit into a modern and
organized regime for all curious
people, and you can help ensure that
we ordinary and untrained scientists
can add something of value by our
combined observation and the
cross-fertilization of what we see and
learn.
Micscape does some of this already,
but it can be done far better, and it
can be done beyond our lifetimes.
But only if you act now! A few dollars
a year by every Micscape reader would
provide a fund which enthusiast
microscopy has never before had at its
disposal. Think, just think, what
could be
achieved!
Let me show (somewhat roughly) you
what Micscape can look like 8 years
from now -
