Hi Ivor,
Don't know about connecting your digital camera to a standard microscope,
but my husband just attended a technical talk by the head of the "Toy"
division of Intel. They have a microscope (Intel Play QX3 Computer
Microscope) that sells for under $100 US and hooks up to your computer
through a USB port. Besides being a fun toy, it is being put to more
serious use by various people doing interesting things at universities,
such as looking at crystals at Florida State University. See
http://microscope.fsu.edu/optics/intelplay/
They have some of their photos online there, along with links to other
websites for getting more information on the microscope. Neat "toy".
