My carson 840 microscope uses xploview software. I've used for a month w/out a problem. But now every time I turn it on the webcam splitter keeps turning off the microscope. It's a cyberlink suite.TIA

Windows 10 and legacy drivers:

Windows 10 file name: xploview v3.3.31.rar

A .ZIP or .RAR file extraction program is needed if your OS does not natively open the file.

You can only connect one external monitor through the docking station. The splitter you describe does not exist.

The miXscope software works great. It is $18 from:
miXscope Mac Microscope Software

The free Macam software works on older Macs with OS 10.5 (Leopard) but has trouble with newer versions. Give it a try:
macam USB webcam support for Mac OS

reinstall or refresh your webcam drivers

Had this issue with our local 'Insight' cable company several times, before I replaced our 'consumer-grade' (which had also worked before) splitter with another, better one (with less dB loss!). Went 'round-and-'round with the cable company over this--they tried selling us their modem (ha!), cajoling us about using splitters (uhm, whut?), and trying to blame 'neighborhood signal strength' issues, but the bottom line was, and is, that cable companies dole out signal power just like they do connections--and occasionally (unfortunately) they seem to 'poll' the lines and do some internal accounting to minimize their cost, naming rules they've always had involving 'devices' and such, but the point is to keep your signal going, bugging them less (believe me! dealing with them, hope you can ferret out an 'honest tech' instead of reaching one who is actually a 'scheming seller!')... anyway, after months of dealing with their peppered, dodgy, and questionable 'solutions', I did find that a 'contractor-grade' splitter did the job for us. Never had the issue again, and currently have a two-way splitter on that line. BTW, I just re-read your post, and if you have a 'three-way' splitter or more, try using a two-way, no matter the quality, your signal will depreciate less (signal loss in this case is comparable to losing less water through a pail because it has less holes in its bottom!). Hope this works for you--happy cabling!

I did a bit of research, and it looks like the only way that you can use the "Mac OSX compatible" microscope, is using it the same way one would plug in a webcam via USB. Essentially, you can plug in the Microscope, open up the Image Capture Utility, PhotoBooth, or Quicktime/iMovie (I'd recommend one of these two), make sure you have the Capture Device set to the microscope and you'll be able to "project" the image that you are seeing through the microscope onto the computer.
The Motic software does not have a counterpart for the Apple OS, and can only be used if you have a Windows BootCamp Partition, or if you have a Parallels installation of Windows that can use the Motic Software. There are other pieces of software out there that can utilize microscopes, but may not have all the same features as the Motic Bundled software. One that I found that may be of some use is called miXscope. It can be found here: http://www.edhsw.com/mixscope/ , and it is relatively inexpensive in terms of licensing.
This may also be of some help for selecting compatible microscopes in the future: http://www.apple.com/science/solutions/microscopy.html
Hope that helps!
