Hi Michael,
Oops, sorry, no the one I am using is not part of my mac software.
It's included in my microscope camera software, Motic Images Plus
which is loaded on my Mac. There is a "Zoom" feature in "Universal
Access" on the Mac. I believe that is under system preferences. I
think you have to set some zoom options if you turn it on. I haven't
used it yet but it could be handy.
