Dear Manon,
If your budget won't stretch to a Leica, I can recommend the Meiji
Techno microscopes. Their metallurgical range has several options - I
have ML8000 I think, which does both incident and transmitted light.
Ask for darkfield illumination which is a more expensive option (it has
a larger light box and wider objectives) but it makes a massive
difference to the reflection of charcoals.
Good luck!
