Ok. So what do you want to see? Factual responses are true, but
unfortunatly depressing. Been there done that and have done that.

Basically, I see your post as seeking a $15K system for $1800. This
is not going to happen. This is not certainly your fault. The scope
field is wide and has many nuances. More info on what you seek to do
would help us help you. If you want low quality, it will be low cost.
If you want high quality it will cost more. So you need to balance
your requirements for image results and overall quality versus cost.
And the camera factor is a wild card. Personally, I do not think that
an SLR is suited to a microscope system. But of course, others may
disagree.

Not easy.
