It depends what do you plan on looking at and what type of microscope do you want? Also what quality do you want as in what magnifications will suffice: 5X, 10X, 40X....Typical light microscopes can go up to 40X but many of them costs above $1000.00 dollars and require microscopic slides and usually squishing the organisms. If you want to look at organisms live, you may want to to get a dissecting scope which can cost up to $900 dollars. Any microscope below $500 is useless. As for electron microscopes, they cost up to 1 million dollars and are only used at Institutions (or if you're a billionaire then go right ahead), they also require a constant water supply to the electron chamber and a critical point drier and gold sputter to prepare the specimens.

You can find sites which give you direction for using a microscope and a digital camera to create such a device, however it's not that expensive to get a kit to do the same thing. So this depends on what you need. If you need a good one it's not that expensive to buy one.
When carrying a microscope, you should hold it by the arm with one hand and support the base with the other hand to ensure a secure grip. This helps prevent the microscope from accidentally falling or being damaged while in transit.

You should not touch the lenses on a microscope, as this can leave fingerprints or smudges that can affect the quality of the image. Additionally, avoid touching the stage or delicate parts of the microscope to prevent damage.
When carrying a microscope, one hand should hold the arm for support, and the other hand should hold on either to the base of the microscope or the stand. This provides stability and helps prevent any accidental drops or damage to the delicate parts of the microscope.
