I'm looking for recommendations for a

    digital eyepiece camera to be used with a
    Zeiss Stemi SV11 microscope (30mm tubes, no trinoc port, objective 0.63X, zoom unit 0.6-6.6X) and
    macOS 10.13.6 (High Sierra) on Powerbook with USB-3
    for the purpose of online instruction regarding insect identification.

This is for a professor at one of the nearby universities, who suddenly finds that he has to teach his course online from home due to campus closure for coronavirus.

So, priorities are on ease of use and reliability, particularly for videoconferencing. Image quality is lower priority, but would like to take some good quality stills also, both for single images and for stacking.

Budget is preferably $500 or less.

Suggestions? Thanks!

Since I'm not really rich, I take photos on a simple iPhone, and you know, I like the result. In my opinion, the main aspiration, experience, professionalism, and not what you are taking pictures of(this also has its role, but not like the above). For example, I take photos for my Instagram, but I do everything to make them as high-quality and good as possible. First I pass them through the app https://backlightblog.com/backlight-photography" rel="nofollow - https://backlightblog.com/backlight-photography which removes all duplicates and blurred photos, then I upload the remaining ones to the computer and edit them in Photoshop, I really like the result. So it's better to gain experience, and then look for a camera with a big budget
