Can anyone tell me how difficult it would be to modify a webcam...?

I want to modify a webcam pro 9000 for microscopy using a Amscope compound mic.

 

I've read a few articles online about it, but it looks a little outside of my technical know how - soldering, splicing wires, etc.

 

Does anyone know of a good way to get really good video from a webcam through a microscope without spending too much?

This link shows a microscope attach to an intel-play microscope component. This toy is discontinued, maybe there are newer products out there.

I'd think no soldering is needed, just building a supporting structure, or adapter to connect cam to microscope. It might be a little more complex than that though, as sometimes precision is needed.
