Sophie,

Martin Microscopes makes adaptors for regular digital cameras that  
fit into the eyepiece. I have one of these and have used it with a  
canon digital camera for immunofluroescence images. The Canon camera  
can be hooked up to a computer (Mac or Win) and be controlled from  
the computer or you can use it as a stand alone. Their web address is,
