Another suggestion about looking for a used microscope, esp. since you
are in an academic town, is the local medical school.  It used to be
that med students bought scopes for studying during their 4 years and
re-sold them at graduation.  I don't know if this is still true, it
has been a long time since my post doc days at a med school.
