I think there are a lot of lessons that can be taken from how Amscope upgrades their 200$ microscope to a 2500$ fluorescent microscope, without destroying the original hardware or ones eyesight
First: use a webcam on a trinocular mount.
Second: use an orange shield.
The ability to use colored glass filters in the light path is the major safety and usability upgrade, and I bet that orange filters or cover slips above the sample could solve this even better. A little care and attention to your own hardware's details and you should get great results. You can also buy the upgraded fluorescent objectives: http://www.microscopenet.com/fluor-objective-fluorescent-microscopes-p-439.html?gclid=CLuf_52pobsCFW0V7AoddBcA1w

Always the same trade-off between diy efforts (and risk of destryoing the original hardware) and money^^
