Sorry for coming back so late to that topic. As was told before I purchased Meiji SMZ 8TR with long arm stand, fiberoptic light. I connected to microscope camera Nikon D90.
After using that few months I have to say that this is great microscope, very clear, sharp view, fluent zoom etc. I am amazed about quality! Photos are not so good, just ordinary documentation photos (I was not expect anything better). There is a problem that view in microscope is very different from view by camera, there is also problem of sharpness of pictures.
I am posting some photos taken in first day by this equipment and also photos of whole set up.
Thank you again for help to all of you! To select wright one was not easy, but I had luck :-)

Tom,
You will notice that your photos are in focus at the center of the field of view but are out of focus at the top and bottom. This is usually the result of shperical abberation in the lenses of the microscope. Is there an eye-piece lens in the camera tube below the camera? If not, you are getting a very wide field view through the microscope optics. If you insert a 5x or 10x eye-piece into the into the camera tube this will magnify the image and your camera will only be seeing the center of the field you do without it. This will give you a smaller field of view but may help eliminate the abberation at the edges.
