I can certainly see it being possible to take pictures (especially if it 'suctions' on to the tank?)... I take pictures through REAL microscopes all the time with my phone's camera and it does a terrific job, and im doing it free-hand. With a tripod-mounted camera through that scope, im sure one could do those pics through there (Assuming it can zoom in that well)

I thought maybe Greg (Snappy) had one of these? I remember that page from someone saying they had one (or was thinking of picking up). Might be worth asking him if he has one and what he thinks of it.

I dunno, sounds neat, if I run out of things that cost $450 to buy I could consider it. But until then though I've got a long list of other things to work though.

I got a chance to use one when I was down in Seattle for a reef meeting, Anthony Calfo had purchased one and let me try it. It is pretty awesome, has a very small viewing area but gets right in there. It works better for those corals closer to the glass. I would imagine a SLR with digital lens would simulate pretty much the same thing. Neato but not $450 neato in my opinion.
