Use a standard microscope and mount a DSLR there on the microscope
Using my 3oD with its broken mirror chamber seems the ideal solutiion, since I don't need the mirror not the viewfinder, but how to make the camera work with no mirror ? and how to mount it ??

The camera needs the mirror for:
1. showing the image on the OVF (for framing and manual focusing)
2. Metering
3. AF
If you can do without the 1st one, then the other two don't seem to be very important for your application because the light will be constant and the focus will be fixed.
Just google for "EOS microscope adapter" or something and I'm sure you'll find plenty of things.
Hope this answered your question?
