Tom,
Your new mill will give you the machining capacity to make a nice microscope inspection stand out of standard items. The vertical base can be a threaded pipe flange and the vertical columb can be a section of pipe. The horizontal arm can be a section of EMT with enough diameter to be stable (EMT is lighter than pipe). You can design a a swivel block to hold the horizontal arm to the vertical columm and make it out of plastic, wood. aluminum or any other material on your new mill. the same goes for the mounting bracket for the microscope on the end of the arm.
