Turning Your Laptop Video Camera Into a Macro Lense

You will want to find an old dvd player - it doesn't have to work, as long as it still intact.  Remove the outer casing.

remove the lens, it is under the area where the disk goes out.

Here is what the lens looks like.  It's sitting on key 'O'.  Once the lens is removed you will want to create a mounting for it.  You can just use duct tape if you want.

I prepared a mounting by cutting some thick plastic to size and soldering a hole to size for the lens to be mounted into.  I then attached it with some super glue and voila!

Glue the lens to the lens mount. Once the glue is dry you can attach it to the computer camera.

You can start taking pictures! Or videos!
Below is a picture of a dime.

One more picture - a human hair. It would be really cool to take pictures of bugs, i just couldn't bring myself to kill one.
