Turn a Webcam into a Microscope

[Zoomtronic1]

does it work with any webcam ?

[anajonesr]

@arsacd Pretty much. You will also find that most webcams will work as a microscope just by adjusting the lens holder which is a screw mechanism.

@anajonesr yeah , i can see now.. worked with my webcam.

This is great! You could enter this in Avnet's Dog Days of Summer contest. It's on the AvnetEMA channel. Or you could DM me at @avnetdesignwire.

@Anajonesr get Nikon D7000 and 18-105 lens. It has AF, but once you get to Manual Focus, its quite silent. Also, go to Apertue priority and step down to F/8 or F/11 and most of things will be in focus.

Cheers & THX!!

filmed with a fuji ?

[anajonesr]

@lezbriddon It was filmed with a Canon Rebel T1i. Unfortunately, there is no auto-focus, and it is noisy.
