Caryl,<div><br></div><div>Intel sold the microscope to Digital Blue: <a href="http://store.digiblue.com/Digital_Blue_s/27.htm">http://store.digiblue.com/Digital_Blue_s/27.htm</a></div><div><br></div><div><a href="http://store.digiblue.com/QX5_Computer_Microscope_for_PC_p/db12013.htm">http://store.digiblue.com/QX5_Computer_Microscope_for_PC_p/db12013.htm</a></div>
<div><br></div><div>But I don't think they are actually manufacturing them. I worked on a project to make an educational website that went with the microscope but I think they had quality problems with manufacturing and a business opportunity with disney and the microscope just wasn't a priority for the company.</div>
<div><br></div><div>The microscope used a propriety driver and software. Even if you get one off of ebay I am doubtful you can get it work on Linux. I don't think they ever got it working on a mac.</div><div><br></div>

Hi All...<br><br>Has anyone tried an "Intel Play QX3 Digital Computer Mocroscope like this one on an XO?<br><br><a href="http://bit.ly/eu1iPh" target="_blank">http://bit.ly/eu1iPh</a><br><br>It is mentioned in this very old link:<br>
<br><a href="http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/etoys/2006-October/000158.html" target="_blank">http://lists.laptop.org/pipermail/etoys/2006-October/000158.html</a><br><br>It is no longer manufactured, but there are some available at ebay (as shown above).<br>
<br>I would really like to get some kind of usb microscope that could be used with the XO to have at SCaLE 9X at the end of this month and to explore features for the water/health lessons some of us are working on for Haiti.<br>
<br>Cherry Withers has ordered a microscope, but it is currently backordered and probably won't arrive in time for SCaLE. <br><br>Has anyone else used one with an XO? If so, what kind? Where is it available? Is it plug-n-play or do you need to install software? Anything else I should know?<br>
<br>I really don't want to use one that relies on the XO computer camera to function.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Caryl<br> </div>
