I suggest you contact the Office for Students with Disabilities at the Open University. I know from my own experience of having taught on the science founcdation course summer school that this sort of technology has been around for some time. It will be based on a microscope whose eye-piece viewer is replaced by a video camera. The student can then manipulate the other microscope controls (focussing, stage controls for moving the specimen around) and alter the magnification whilst viewing the image on a screen.
