According to this Space.com story:
http://www.space.com/searchforlife/mars_microscope_000817.html
While the microscope is on the Beagle 2's manifest of science instruments, the Mars Society's claim of sponsorship of the device is incorrect, said a top official of the Beagle 2 project.
"This deal certainly does not exist," said Colin Pillinger, lead scientist for the Beagle 2 effort, and professor of planetary sciences research at the Open University, located in Milton Keynes, the United Kingdom."
The Mars Society tried to make claim it was sponsoring the Beagle 2 microscope and Dr. Pillinger in a very nice way, says it ain't so...
So the Mars Society reps on this page are feeding disinformation again. Beagle 2 is no part of the Mars Society. Mars Society is only interested in setting up human colonies in Utah and the Arctic. Beam me up Scotty! These guys are nuts!
