digital Microscope


Hey guys,
A few years back when I was starting a science degree, my dad showed me an article in a magazine ( Significant Bits.. I think that is the name of it) that detailed how to build a digital microscope using a digital Camera, PVC tubing, and a few lenses.

Anyone know anywhere where I could possibly find details like this again (or even if they know the magazine I'm talking about).

Edit: spelling for google

How about calculating the lenses/distances required yourself? This should make an interesting project! In principle this shouldnt be particularly hard... unlike making radioactive astatine or something :D

How about something like this?

I bought one of these QX3+ microscopes on Ebay a while ago. The resolution isn't top quality, but the price is pretty good.

thats pretty cool, but still, more interested in the digital camera idea.

Although, the eye piece would be a nifty addition to my microscope.
