[Taxacom] Microscope seek

[Andriy Novikov]

Dear colleagues,
I am a curator of LWS herbarium at the State Natural History Museum NAS of
Ukraine in Lviv, Ukraine. I am looking for a microscope with the
possibility of making photos (with adaptor for a camera or inbuilt camera
etc.) of histological slides (cross-sections of floral parts, pollen
grains, etc.) and also for a long-arm low-resolution microscope for routine
work with herbarium vouchers.
Unfortunately, Ukraine is still a low-income country with underfunding of
science. My current salary is only about 170 USD per month, and we have no
possibility to buy any equipment.
Hence, I would be thankful if somebody could grant such a microscope(s) for
our Museum. Or, perhaps, if somebody could recommend me any possibility of
buying some old, even out of service such a microscope(s). Please
understand, I cannot pay much for it, even eBay prices are too high. But if
there will be some small reasonable price, I will be happy to cover it.

Even in such difficult conditions as in Ukraine, we can do good science and
try to do my best (https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=7YS2k0MAAAAJ&hl).
I will be grateful if you help me with this.

Thank you in advance for any suggestions!
Andriy.
