Have you considered a Raspberry Pi with camera, or camera mount with your existing lens:

Photos and livestream will be easy to set up. You could try motioneye to give you a livestream and take pictures on demand, or at defined time intervals.

Greetings, hive mind,

We have an old (but still useful) Nikon SMZ stereomicroscope that we use for 
mounting crystals. I’d like to attach a digital camera to the phototube, both 
to capture crystal images for archival purposes, and also to live-stream as a 
teaching tool.

I’d be grateful for any suggestions for an inexpensive option here.

When this camera was new we used it with an SLR that captured images on *film* 
(this is where the students gasp). We’ve since gone through one digital camera 
that probably still works, but the interface and software have become 
obsolescent. Meanwhile, the microscope keeps on truckin’; interesting to 
reflect on the relative lifetimes of analog vs. digital tools…

Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Pat
