You will need a camera and probably an adaptor ring. I think you may need to take the existing eyepiece off so that the virtual image you need to focus can be focussed by the camera.

Your best option is really to contact the makers of the microscope to see if they make a camera adaptor.

You will probably need a stronger light source but that depends on the sensitivity of the camera.

The only software you might need is the software to show real-time images (such as webcam images) on your screen.

Yes, there are eyepieces for this. I teach science, but not biology. We get flyers on this stuff all the time.
You shouldn't need software for the eyepiece. The microscope-to-tv technology is just optics, just a glass eyepiece that picks up the image on CCD. The CCD is just analog. It's no more complicated than going from a video player to the 'puter. As a matter of fact, with a video camera you might have about everything you need now. Try taking the ocular out of the microscope and putting the camera directly on top of the micro. Sometimes that works, then you can go camera to pc if you already have that capability.
This should be relatively cheap to do. We can go micro to TV at school and we did it cheap.
