I've recently purchased a couple of mono-CCD cameras from Marshall Electronics 
(1-800-800-6608) with very impressive results.  

1) V-1055 is a 1/3" low light camera in a 1.5"x1.5"x1" box, excellent low light 
sensitivity (0.05 lux, I have it connected to an inverted microscope), C-mount. 
The camera has 380 line resolution, fine for teaching, demos, etc.  Price is an 
amazing $225.  I am using for observing isolated cardiac myocytes during 
electrophysiological experiments.

2) V-6250, 500 line resolution, same low light (0.05 lux), very crisp pictures, 
$495.

With both of these cameras we can get images with a 20x objective with the 
scope turned off!  

Note- 
I am just a happy end user, with no connection to Marshall.
