What you will need.
A Web Camera.
I got a 2MP USB Handheld Digital Pen Microscope from eBay for about 40$, it had a small round mounting so would be easy to make a mounting bracket for it.
Mach 3 from: http://www.machsupport.com/
The Camera Plugin from : http://www.kd-dietz.com/klausphp/index_eng.html
