Homebrew PCBs

I agree.  Stereo zoom is what I would go with. I have done a bit of microscope repair,
for the hospital where I work.   This gives me access to whatever kind of microscope
I need.  We have at least three Olympus stereo zoom units. Of course for my own use
I'm off the clock.

                  Go for a stereo zoom microscope. If they have them, get one with a camera mount on it. Then you can mount any kind of camera you want. 

When I bought mine, I also got the movable boom. It adds to the cost some, but makes it much nicer to use and put the scope exactly where you want it.
