We received a USB microscope from Maplin for Christmas, from my father and stepmother. It's basically a webcam engine coupled to a different optical system; so there's a small hand-held device on a cable that plugs straight into a USB port. It has inbuilt LED lights, so you push the end right up against a surface, and the casing of the unit holds the surface at the correct focussing distance while illuminating it. There's a manual control to focus, but once it's set, you don't need to fiddle with it.
It's Maplin code N87FX.

Anyway, it claims to work under various flavours of Windows, and certainly doesn't work out of the box on a Mac - but a bit of research (see the USB vendor/device codes in System Profiler, looking them up at http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids to find the generic name of the device, googling from there) led me to http://www.pc210.com.cn/downloadhtml/sonix201_PC_Camera_driver_for_MAC_405.html where a suitable driver can be downloaded. The RAR file wouldn't expand under Stuffit, but unrar from pkgsrc on my NetBSD system opened it fine, to reveal two zip files (duh) each containing a .dmg file (duh) which had a different driver in each... I just installed both.
Skype then immediately picked up on it as a webcam. But Photo Booth refuses to talk to anything other than the inbuilt iSight on my laptop, but then I found that the driver installs had also installed an app called Webcam Monitor, which is a simple wrapper around the underlying Quicktime video capture APIs, adapted from Apple's reference source code. It can record video, or a simple ⌘-C will copy a picture to the clipboard for Preview.app to save. It'd be nice to find something where I could just press a capture button and have a snapshot appear in a list which I can then choose a name for and save as a .PNG to automate this, though. Perhaps I ought to do my own quick adaption of Apple's reference source code...
