USB microscope

Sold!

This is about as cool a toy as I've ever owned: a USB-powered microscope that streams 50X video to your machine (higher-power lenses are available), illumnated by a ring of white LEDs. From the TidBITS review:

I test a lot of products, and few have stood out as much as the ProScope for pure fun. A highly technical friend was visiting the night after my review unit arrived, so after Tristan was in bed, we all retired to my office and starting pointing the ProScope at anything within reach of its 6-foot cord. Hair, skin, clothing, small tchotchkes from my desk, and so on. The 50X lens we initially used proved to work the best for the kind of real-world objects we were viewing.
These guys charge $229 for this.

I'm asking $120.
