This seems to be a FAQ. If I understand the USB-stuff all one has to
do is connect the camera to the USB-bus, boot linux with the core USB-
support and check the Vendor/Product-Id in /proc. After that a short
browsing of www.linux-usb-org should list you the necessary driver. As
for this list which is about CPiA based cameras the correct IDs are:

VendorId:  0553
ProductId: 0002

Also the Intel Play QX3 Microscope is supported:

VendorId:  0813
ProductId: 0001
