For those of you who use Immersion Corp. Microscribe 3D digitizers
and have not yet heard the news, they are discontinuing manufacture
and support of all 'scribes on December 24th, 2008; see
http://www.immersion.com/digitizer/
They hope to find someone to purchase this line of equipment, but
barring that, no orders will be accepted after Dec 24, and the last
ones will be shipped Jan 12th. It is still possible to send in
current systems for recalibration (ca. $500 for the G2 line) or
upgrade (ca. $2000 for 3DX, red systems), via Immersion or a
reseller, such as eMicroscribe (Darryl Motley
<[EMAIL PROTECTED]>). This is not cheap, but it will preserve
the system for several years more work. We at NYCEP have used
Microscribes in morphometric studies since 1997 and will sorely miss
them if they start to disappear.
