This is the circuit board of the webcam. Three of the wires on the back side of the board became detached so I soldered them back onto the board. I have kept the button for capturing still images on the webcam for now, but may remove it later. | This is the circuit board of the webcam.

My first idea was to also create the plastic housing for my microscope out of a plastic container. However, this failed because the plastic was too brittle and would crack when I attempted to cut it. Using a thicker plastic container also failed as the plastic proved too hard to cut with a craft knife, and splintered, causing injury to my fingers while I was attempting it. Perspex is much less brittle and will be a much better material with which to house my microscope. | |||
