Best Microscope / Lighting Setup?

That stand is similar to what came with mine and I do not like it much.It is however, a bit better than the one that came with my Celestron 44304. The big problem is going to be with the on board lights no matter which scope you get. I had to block off all but one light and put a filter over that one. The one I left is at 12k. I then use a handheld LED flashlight,one with a filter over it and one without a filter over it. I actually prefer using a point and shoot camera set to macro mode and natural sunlight whenever possible.

I just purchased the Carson MM-840 EFlex. It takes great close up's as well as full images of cioins. As others have mentioned, it's all about the lighting. I try not to use the on board lights and try to use natural light coming in through an opened window or a flashlight. Also, it does come with a flexible stand (hence the name EFlex) but to take full images you will need to place the scope on books, or what ever works for you, to elevate the scope.
Here's the link to it. I hope it's ok to post this link
