Here are all parts needed to make a webcam magnefier/microscope stand for my converted Logitech STX camera, plus a few tips. For more details on how to convert your own camera see the following link: http://hackteria.org/wiki/index.php/DIY_microscopy or search for DIY Webcam Microscope online. Instructions The 14mm plastic shroud from my webcam was threaded over the lens and mounted in the arm. I used sandpaper to get a snug interference fit between the arm's opening and the shroud. NOTE: My fitting was extremely tight, yet it wouldn't thread on properly! All remaining parts came from past projects or things that were simply lying around. The webcam used is the Logitech Communicate STX. Guide rails of 8mm linear motion length (as needed - mine are four inches) make up a couple parts along with an M8x1.25 threaded rod about an inch longer than the guide rails, one nut, and CA glue or Super Glue if necessary for parts that won't fit right.
