You need to provide good pictures if you expect much of a response.

You have to compress them down to about 200 kb. or less or upload them elsewhere and provide a link.

Resize or save as a compressed format to get them under 512k; a jpeg at 720p would likely work.

That will help some. Usually microscopes that are targeted at the live blood analysis market are pared down to the essentials for that job. When the Olympus BX 40 replaced the B & L Balplan in that market for instance , it did so at quite a price difference, especially since they recommended planapos. One way they kept the cost down was to sell only the one DF condenser and only those objectives that were absolutely necessary : a 20X and an oil immersion 100X with an iris. Sometimes a 40 or 60 too. Still, so equipped in the 1990's such a scope was just under $10,000.00.
It would help sell your microscope to detail just what it is equipped with. Condenser, objectives and specifications, type of head and eyepieces and the camera
