Hello – nothing looks melted or anything, but then again I don’t know what exactly it looked like before it stopped working.  I replaced the battery, but still no light.  It worked fine for a week of work, and was lit the last time we used it in our middle school science classes.  Have been just fine shooting pics with the iPad and natural light w/high and low mag, no LED/condenser.   See my recent onion skin post for results.

Thanks for offering to help find a fix!  No rush – the kids will be trying the natural light setup with both lenses this week.  Sorry for the poor close focus on the camera.

My best,

Kate Honan
