Have a look here Paul
http://www.telescopes-direct.com/

It's a sister company to the 'Wide Screen Company'. They have a Chap there (Jack Grossman) who you can email or phone who will give you all the information you need.

You can also have a look at http://www.brunelmicroscopes.co.uk/ who have everything your likely to need.

If money is no problem you should be looking at maybe the KONUS range. I use the 'Campus' for fungi coupled with a Bresser Digital USB eye-piece. It's fine.

I only wish I knew what I was looking for sometimes

Hope this helps

John
