Running Helicon Focus on a linux operating system

Hi Stas - Usually I'm groaning about bugs & fixes. This time I have some good news: Helicon Focus can be run in a GNU/linux environment by using Wine, which is a linux application that will run a Windows application without resort to the Windows operating system. Specifically: I installed Helico...

Re: How do I email Helicon3DViewer to someone ?

Someone has asked me privately how to get an earlier version of Helicon Focus so he can get usable 3D output. I've had good luck by installing HF 5.1 in place of the latest version, and I'd like to be able to tell him where he can download that version for his own use. My own Dell Inspiron laptop is...

Re: How do I email Helicon3DViewer to someone ?

Stas said: Helicon Focus 6 saves videos as mp4 files, so sharing should not be a problem. After downloading HF 6.2.2, matters are worse: 1. HF didn't ask me for my activation code. 2. 3D still comes up all 255's excepting the hula hoop outline, and there's no place I can find where I can change the ...

How do I email Helicon3DViewer to someone ?

For a week now I've been trying to show the results of my examination of an object to someone over the Internet. I've got a nice 3D animation produced by Helicon Focus that I can view just fine on my own computer as either a 3D model or as a QuickTime video, but when I put that data on my website, Q...

Re: Linear actuator

Regarding automation of the interface between HF and a microscope: 1. On my Olympus stereomicroscope, I added a stage to support the object and a dial indicator with one inch range reading in 0.001 inch increments easily resolved to follow the head of the microscope. For some pix I move the head 0.0...

Re: Version 6 Beta saving blank animation images

Hello Stas - The new upgrade (not the new release ?) came down and was installed w/o any hitches, but the 3D animation still does not work. Same problem as in the original posting. My November 2011 version still works and does create usable animations, but the stacked images from the latest version ...

Version 6 Beta saving blank animation images

While my older version of Helicon Focus (about 2012) seems to be working OK, when I try to view the 3D animations in my browser (SeaMonkey on WinXP SP3) I get only the outline of the images, which are blank white. This happens whether the saved images are real or blank. I can view the real images wi...

Re: Focussing stack using Microscope ?

It's easy to mount a dial indicator on the post of a stereomicroscope and then create the stack with equal height increments. I did this with an Olympus SZH to which I had added a stage attached to the microscope's post. The stage makes the position of the object quite stable. With a metallograph or...
