         I have another DIY  solution, you have a camera, take pictures of
the various stages etc..........  then you can make prints for display
laminated, or project them from a laptop,   Attachments for microscopes are
not expensive, and some people even use some of the digital scopes sold in
toy stores,  I think "digital Blue" is one  there are others.

         Attached is a very low resolution small image taken through a
microscope .. it does work and people can hold the image instead of trying
to focus a microscope.......  Just a thought
