based on this i am going to go down the "modify an MS lifecam" route.

Shame really - the "datyson tyrant" looked from the outside like it could

It actually arrived in record time. And maybe I was just unlucky. Other people gave positive reviews.

Reviews on other sites might not be totally reliable though because people tend to go there and write a review when they are dissatisfied....

Anyway, there is also the G227 (also from China). It is sold on eBay, and I read (I think on the Stargazers Lounge site) that it is good. A member said it is better than the Toucam (which he apparently also has).

But as I also have a microscope for me the Celestron I linked to in another post is also an option. It is very easy to make the nosepiece bigger, even without an adapter, for example with some bubble wrap.
