The QX5 Computer Microscope from Prima Creations has been uses successfully by Andrew Westphal, an astrophysicist at the Space Sciences Laboratory at the University of California at Berkeley. He reportedly said that a more sophisticated microscope's lens would have been damaged by the acid that's used to separate particles of microscopic space dust.
It's amazing that a device like this is sold as a toy for kids. I want one.

Nice. This microscope is based on Intel tech. Intel used to have a line of this microscope, a webcam, and a few other things that just weren't targeted and marketed correctly. I picked up a QX3+ from Toys R Us for less than $25 when they were blowing out the Intel stuff (and before Prima picked them up and ran with them).
When I was a kid I had to shine a lamp just so in order to see stuff under the microscope...
