This question has been asked before - perhaps for a different USB microscope camera than the one you're using - but the answer is still the same: without drivers designed for OS X you're probably going to have to resort to running Windows on your Mac in order to use the camera.

You can either run Windows within a virtual machine (Parallels, VMWare Fusion, VirtualBox) or use the Boot Camp assistant to setup a dual boot with Windows on your Mac.
