This guy makes adapters for almost any kind of camera to mount on a microscope, I found the info on his page quite useful . he machines the adapters, but I read somewhere about guys using PVC pipe and Jerry rigging their own adapters , tons of info , I didn't read it all yet, he gets technical on alot of stuff.

Besides the mechanical attachment, these adapters apply one of several optical principles to couple the camera to the microscope, including:
Afocal (through the normal eyepiece to inexpensive small-format digital cameras)
Focal (from a photoport to lensless digital SLR cameras)
Focal (from a photoport to small-format digital cameras via a relay lens)
Afocal (through a custom photo-eyepiece for large-lensed digital cameras)
