For that budget, I would personally go for a used infinity corrected scope. For example, I bought a used Zeiss Axioskop 50 on eBay, and then bought Plan-APOCHROMAT and Plan-Neofluar ojectives.
Here are some pictures : https://www.microbehunter.com/microscop ... =4&t=12711

I had to be very patient to find objectives in mint shape and at the right price, but all in all the microscope costed me 6500 canadian dollars (around 4500-5000 euros ?) and I'm happy with the results ! (I bough te objectives, new occulars for 25 mm field of view, a 6 place nosepiece turret to replace the 5 place one (with space for DIC slides. a camera C-mount, a camera, etc.)

You will have o shop around for a long time (took me 2 years to gets all the objectives I wanted).

Giovann , what did you do at the end? What did you bought? A followup will be appreciated.

Well done Matador for your gear!
