I recently purchased a USB Microscope from a seller on Ebay. check out the sellers 200x C2M 2M USB Digital Microscope endoscope Magnifier.
Other than the clip being broken I must say I was super impressed with the build standard of the product and the quality of the pictures / video. the following clips were taken with the camera in Capture mode. Neat hey!
USB Microscope Clip 1
USB Microscope Clip 2
USB Microscope Clip 3
Over the coming week I will be using this Scope to teach my two home schooled kids science.
Of course you can also expect the tool to be used in this hobby too!

Got say i am disappointed with the seller. I got a request to send the whole lot back to China for a replacement unit. That will cost me another $28.5 in postage and packaging
and them about the same to send the new one. That is more than the camera is worth, all because of a small broken clip. Disappointing indeed. Plus I miss out on using for 3 weeks.
I am hoping common sense will prevail and they will just send a replacement clip. If needs be I will continue to use a Microphone holder till it gets sorted.
Not related to my dispute with the seller – I can confirm these beauties don’t work with Win7 -64bit! Grrrrrrrrrr.
