You might like to contact some of the USDA lab people. They have been doing 
these things routinely and are happy to show off what they know, especially 
at field days, and pretty helpful by email.

See http://www.honeybeeworld.com/diary/2003/diary011003.htm for pictures of 
John Harbo giving beekeepers a demo of his varroa observation setup a few 
years back.  Pretty well anybody at Baton Rouge lab should be able to give 
pointers, and I am sure that most of the other labs have dabbled at least in 
this sort of thing.
