Caryl, Intel sold the microscope to Digital Blue: http://store.digiblue.com/Digital_Blue_s/27.htm
http://store.digiblue.com/QX5_Computer_Microscope_for_PC_p/db12013.htm But I don't think they are actually manufacturing them. I worked on a project to make an educational website that went with the microscope but I think they had quality problems with manufacturing and a business opportunity with disney and the microscope just wasn't a priority for the company. The microscope used a propriety driver and software. Even if you get one off of ebay I am doubtful you can get it work on Linux. I don't think they ever got it working on a mac.
