  • Abstract
    Everyone loves looking through a microscope. That got me wondering how hard it would be to convert one to capture images digitally. Sure, you can buy digital scopes ready made, but they tend to be either expensive or of poor optical quality. I wanted one that had decent optics and would also capture a decent-size image.
