There is also the Cryscam as a more dedicated (cold light, etc)
low price alternative that works well (also with x-y stage):

I had some pretty good experience with MOTIC SMZ140/143 microscopes.
compared to Leica (which are my favorites) they seem a little "flimsy"
but image quality is good, they come with a built in video cam and grabber,
they have a large table and at 1,700 bucks (with camera, 10x and 20x
eyepieces and a 1.5x 'objective' and yes, that's
one-thousand-seven-hundred!) they're unbeatable.

the two big negatives: they come with built in halogen light, so the can get
warm (yoo can use the reflective light to avoid that) and no polariser
option (they have one on their webpage - don't buy that, unless you want to
disassemble it, getting polarisers from somewhere else and jerry rig them in
is easier)

cheers
