I think you have a good idea Tony, nice experiment with the QX3. I wish I had
one.

You might try photographic close up lenses with the 10X magnification. I
suspect distortion from getting too close would be a problem but worth trying

If you had one, a simple concave lens in front of the 60X might be worth a
try.

Is there a published optical path plan for the microscope? If so one might be
able to figure out correction optics.

Good luck and keep us informed.
