While this is a nice hack, for $64 you can get a really nice and functional kid's microscope that goes up to 400x. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000NOU54O h

  The difference here is you get digital images, so you can push the hack further and do any kind of App you'd like (for instance taking multiple picture while moving the object and reconstitute a big picture of the full object, or whatever you can think of) Of course it may be possible to attach a camera to the microscope you show, it just seems more complicated.

  That's six times more expensive, not digital, and not a fun hack. I fail to understand your point.

    Perhaps his exception is to the "high-powered" claim.

    Do you not understand what "digital" means? The kids microscope is the lens, not the image recorder. If you set up an attachment to hold your smartphone in front of the viewpiece, then anything that your eye can see can be digitized.
