aida gonzales: Re: [Microscope] Re: WEB CAM

Is it possible to get the front of the lens right up against an
eyepiece? In other words how far in is it and what diameter is the
"hole" leading to the lens. I like the cylindrical shape because it will
make mounting very easy and convenient. The spherical shape of the
Quickcam is a nuisance.
