I ordered one of these after someone did a post about it the other day...here's the link to the site that sells them:
MicroXplore PC200
As promised, here are some samples. It does a decent job, but it's very hard to keep steady. It does have a stand, but it's not so great...I think one could be made easily that will work better (from a microphone gooseneck or something similar). It also only works at two focal lengths, 50x and 200x despite the fact thatit's supposed to zoom. I had to play with these images to get them to look halfway decent. I think I am going to keep it- $129 for a scope that takes even halfway decent pictures is worth it to me...

<< <i>Adjustable magnification: 10x~50x, 200x >>
From their website: It looks like the zoom is only for 10-50x and once you get to 50 the only thing left is 200x.
