This is my entry, cheap webcam to get digital video  from your microscope.  Its neat because I didn't even know there was a contest. Webcam is good because you get the audio too so you can narrate what you see as you see it.

Thanks for the tip, Randy. This sounds like just my style.
Check out my Fully-Functional DSLR camera costume! It actually takes photos and comes complete with an LCD display, pop-up flash, and shutter release button.

Seen on HuffingtonPost, Mashable, Gizmodo, Gizmag, Yahoo! tech, Buzzfeed, PopPhoto, DPReview, and more.
