Here is an image (modern Mustelus jaw) produced by a handheld microscope.  I had to adjust the image with a image processor as it was too light and washed out.  Note the pinkish tint which also can be adjusted but with more difficulty.  I find the scanner produces superior images; however the microscope has its use as it can get into tight and awkward places that the scanner cannot.
