Tool Scope

Toolmaker's scopes pop up at auction every now and then. Sort of depends on how accurate you need to be.
If you're not patient enough for an auction, buy a micrometer travel X/Y stage of acceptable resolution and travel and mount it under the microscope of your choice. Might be a cheap USB model with sufficient magnification but those tend to have a small working distance. The generic cheap scope is Amscope. It's no Leica or Zeiss, but they are remarkably good for what they cost.

If you don't trust the X/Y stage micrometers, or just want to move faster/with less turns, rig up a set of drop gages to the stage.
