Using an Arducam B0196 USB board level camera as a basic optics module

This section describes how to assemble an optics module consisting of an Arducam B0196 webcam and the lens from the camera. To create a microscope the wide angle lens is reversed and separated from the camera. This makes quite a good microscope objective with a field of view about 400μm across and a resolution of around 2μm.

USB cameras are not supported in the standard Openflexure software.
