There are some 3 megapixel USB 2.0 color digital microscope cameras
being listed on eBay for much less than I would have thought
possible.

For example, see:

Does anyone have experience with these cameras?

I am considering one for a brightfield reflected light (metallurgical)
microscope or on a stereo microscope. Therefore low light capability
is not an issue.

Scares the heck out of me. Bad pictures, silly looking "product" and a
sellor I never heard of.

There are other quality companies that don't scare me. I'd go with them and
leave e-bay alone.

Thanks,
