Try one of those 'beauty cams' - they have a fixed 200x magnification,
and send out composite video which can be easily recorded as video or
stills via a capture card. They're used by beauticians to analyse skin
condition.
I'm using one and it's brilliant - my only gripe is that I can't drop
the magnification - maybe I could devise some lenses to allow it to back
off from the board and retain clear focus.
