THANKS to all who answered this thread. I am learning a lot with your help.

If seeing an image as large is your goal, as opposed to resolution
(look the word up), then what I would do would be to buy a surplus
surveillance video camera that takes c-mount lenses, and adapter for
the microscope and a BIG surplus CRT video monitor and pipe the image
to it. The virtual look of the image will be far larger appearing
than looking in the eyepiece, even if you won't see nearly as much
detail...

Yes, This is the next step : to attach a good quality video camera to attach to a PC, so to have all on the screen.

Bit I would like also to 'see' the same resolutione that I have on the
lenses. I am aware3e che by doing this, one 'skips' the magnofocation on the 'ocular' lenses.

WHich means if I have a magnification of 40x trhis remain 40x, doesnt become 400x adding the 10x of the ocular.

Am I right ?

For what concerns the larger 'working distance, I want to to in this direction.
I have already contaced a couple of shops who sell this things, but they are more expensive.

I wonder if it is waiser to go for a micrdcope with lenses 'under' the object to be analyzed.

I have to admit that I don't like very much the 'oil' solution.

Because it forces tu cover everything with another piece of plastic, so that the object doesn't come in contact with the oil.

In my microscope, probably a 'cheap' one also if it costs a bit less that 900 dollars, I can only use the 4x and 10x lenses.

The 40x lens already 'touches' the glass.

Thanks again to all who have answered.
