[Health] $30 microscope

[Caryl Bigenho]

Hi...
When you all figure out the best way to get a microscope running on the XO and the best one to get for the best possible price, be sure to let me know.  I want to get one to have in the OLPC booth at SCaLE 9X.

P.S. Cherry... are you and your family still planning to come to CA for Disneyland and SCaLE?

Mike, 

I just ordered mine from Amazon. But we were discussing this on our Squeakland meeting today 
and wondering if you've tried this on the XO 1.0 as well and if you've tried other brands?
The Digimicro is hovering around $37-$45 at Amazon (without shipping and tax). Where have you found

them for $30? 

Thank you for your help!

Hi all,



I ordered this Digimicro 1.3mp USB microscope and it arrived from

China today. I was able to pretty easily get it running on an XO-1.5

in Gnome. Photos and details here:

Here's the reference I used for the installation:
