Microscope to Camera Adapters

Dear Colleagues,

We are currently looking for options to upgrade our Leica M205C microscope
with a Leica DMC2900 camera attachment to something with a higher
resolution. We think the best way to go about this would be to hook up a
good DSLR camera to our microscope. We received a quote for such an adapter
from LMscope that would run us ~$3000. Does anyone know of a cheaper
solution, or if this price is typical for these adapters, or any other
advice?

Cheers,
