Greg, Are you handy at building things? Olympus BH microscope base with adjustable X-Y Stage Nikon Bellows Various lenses Microscope objective adapter up to x40 E-plan A chunk of channel iron A two light adjustable microscope lighting system.
Nikon D6000 is a good base! the lens and mounts are the key however. Or a cannon setup (bellows and base camera) Any you will have one heck of a nice macro set-up that will rival some $20,000 microscopes and more!
