Where to get Dino-Eye Digital Microscope Eyepiece Camera USB 2.0 Works with Mac OS X Snow LeopardBy ExscotticusThis is the "X" version of the DinoEye AM423 line of microscope eyepiece USB cameras offered by AnMo Electronics and distributed in the USA by BigC--which means it has a longer tube than the generic AM423 and a coupler that allows it to fit both 23 and 30mm oculars.
