In Buxton, UK, close to my home town, the 'Micrarium' opened over 25 years
ago, with amazingly designed, purely optical projecting microscopes. It was
a truly wonderful place but the over-zealous local planning authority would
not allow any external signs to tell people what it was. It closed some time
ago. My near-neighbour, the son-in-law of its founder now supplies
interactive microscopes, video microscopes and magnifiers to museums and
science centres worldwide: http://www.micrariumenterprises.co.uk/

I myself designed a very simple video microscope plus an optional base with
a built-in projector:

Give people facts and you feed their minds for an hour.
Awaken curiosity and they feed their own minds for a lifetime.
