My automatic point counter doesn't work - what do I do ?

In 1953 John H. Bassett introduced the Automatic Point Counter to the James Swift & Son Limited microscope company. The automatic point counter, sometimes called the Swift Point Counter, the Hacker Point Counter or the Prior Point Counter, ceased production nearly 50 years later.

We are regularly contacted by people who's automatic point counter has finally reached the end of road and are looking for a replacement, and we have been glad to help. We have been able to find some shorter term solutions in that we've managed to put people in contact who have a point counter they are no longer using, or one that can be used for spares. In one case we were able to put someone, with a limited budget, in contact with an organisation that no longer required one of our point counting systems.

If you are in the situation that your automatic point counter has reached the end of the road, then we're pleased to say that our stepping stage with PETROG or PetrogLite software is the ideal replacement. It may no longer come in an beautiful hand made wood and brass case, but it does allow digital capture, storage and analysis of your data.

If you do have an ageing mechanical point counting system, then upgrading to our system is the right choice.
