Any recommendation for a HDMI camera for an Amscope microscope?

I've looked online and may 14M might be enough but would be interested in any recomendations or alternatives (using a iphone holder mount perhaps).

Anybody here got a microscope and already been on that journey?

Thanks in advance.

I have a cheap (OK, 'toy'), USB microscope, once I fitted it into a metal stand it was OK for what I wanted at the time.

Why HDMI?
Not so easy to capture images?

I have a binocular microscope I'd be interested to fit a camera to.
Also a vague interest in getting a bird spotting scope and grabbing images/video from that.

Raspberry Pi is another option, various camera modules around for that?

Thanks - yes would like HDMI so I can show it on a TV when doing inspection work and also a memory card so I can record dissasembly order when taking things apart rather than it being dependant on a laptop etc

I'm looking at possible alternatives - but a bit confused by the mounting needed to connect to the oculus port and if it needs to have magnification.

Found this which makes me wonder what the right thing is.

Many thanks.
