[Health] $30 microscope

[Nicholas Doiron]

Caryl,

You should get in touch with the team from Upper Canada College in Toronto
(CC'd on this e-mail). At the SF summit they had hooked up their XOs to a
video microscope and sensors from the science education supplier Vernier:
http://www.vernier.com/probes/index.html   I am not sure of the cost of
their microscope, but it worked quite well.  They may be interested in
getting a second one for $30 if it can work with their XOs.

Regards,
Nick Doiron
