I picked up one of these this evening it comes with the usual prepared slides and a PSU for the light. Lenses - 4X 10X 40X Eyepieces 10X , 16X Pity the slide holder don't move to and fro.. might be able to adapt it BTW it's got a USB camera.. only 320x240 Its mostly metal rather than plastic. Main tube is 23.2mm to take…

Its mostly metal rather than plastic.
Main tube is 23.2mm to take the camera
And an adaptor to take the 20mm dia lenses.

Totally agree (pity the camera needs so much light)

But could unscrew the clips and put a mover on the plate - if you could only figure out where to get / how to get one .... - do they have standard dimensions

Something with stepper motors would be neat if you could drive from the PC.
