Inverted microscope!!! Might get tricky for 1K.

Why not. Some scanning electron microscopes will do the job too and we all
know that these are very cheap these days...

If I was to make the decision, I would buy some sturdy horse shoe shaped
stands with a mirror, equipped with achromats 4,10,40, an uncorrected
condenser (sounds not as nice as an Abbé condenser , I know...) in a
centerable and focussable mount, a 8x Huyghian eypiece and a 10x or 15x
compensation type for the 40x achromat.

Cost second hand: anything between 40 and 100 Euro a piece max for a scope
in good condition. Nice examples of such a scope is the Oly "GB", but
especially in the US they should be proud of (amongst many others...) their
Spencer microscopes!

If one should think of a more high tech looking stand, I would consider
something like the Will Wetzlar V series. Very nice microscopes, as good as
the Zeiss Standard stands, perhaps even better and these are sold on a
regular basis on Ebay for near to nothing... There's another possibillity to
have much microscope for small bucks.
