For morphological studies, a trinocular stereo microscope with high zooming range and working distance, equipped with a digital camera and imaging software would be great. The adjustable height option helps to accommodate large materials such as fruits. For example: https://www.nikon.com/products/industrial-metrology/lineup/microscope/stereoscopic_microscopes/ See a brochure here https://www.nikon.com/products/industrial-metrology/support/download/brochures/pdf/2ce-enah-7.pdf Review: https://opticsmag.com/best-dissecting-microscopes/
To study mounted herbarium specimens, an articulating zoom microscope maybe helpful to cover wide area of the specimen. https://www.amscope.com/stereo-microscopes.html?i_stand=1108 For anatomical and pollen studies, a good dissecting microscope with digital camera would be a good option. Many makes and models available, for e.g. Nikon, Olympus, Leica, AmScope etc. All depends on the budget, but be sure to get quotes from different vendors and negotiate the price.
