I just want to share how you can easily and inexpensively (!!) attach a
$50 PC camera to a telescope or microscope.
I recently purchased a PC camera (Kensington VideoCAM SuperVGA). Their
website describes one person's experience capturing images from a
telescope using the PC cam.
(http://www.kensington.com/about/abo_1375.html).
I thought this was pretty slick, so, when I got home I tried to use the
camera to capture images using the microscope I bought my daughter last
Christmas. It worked great! I've temporarily posted two of the images
to my website (http://www.stchas.edu/faculty/gcarlson/pub/).
Illumination is provided by my desklamp.
