OK I have some good news, an not so good news, a friend of mine had some eye pieces that were the same size as mine, except they were 10x/22, an these things are spot on.  He shook my left eye piece an something inside was bouncing up an down, not something I would have wanted to honestly do just because of how much csn go wrong, an how accident prone I am.  But right now I'm having absolutely no issues.

Good job. One of my first tests is to pick up a piece of optics and gently shake it to see if anything rattles. I do this over a large tub, if it is, say, an old microscope, in case something falls out. (It has happened.)

If I got things right, the worst case scenario is that you may have to buy some new and better eyepieces? Did you see any vignetting with the 10X/22 ones?

Sounds like you have a complaint for wherever you bought the microscope from. Defective eyepiece, which should be replaced.

I got the Andostar  301, it doesn't have an eyepiece, but was a lot cheaper. Works great so far, expect I haven't figured out how to save files directly onto my PC. I might have to order a microSSD card and reader for it to get stuff onto PC, which is a pain.

I've tried soldering with a microscope camera and a screen. It's incredibly frustrating as you don't have any depth perception. The first time you look through a proper stereo microscope and experience the 3D view, you'll understand why it's the only option.

YUP!!!  Quite true, the stereo microscopes have two objectives that are pointed toward the place where the unit focuses, and some prisms to bend the image so it comes in more straight-on to your eyes.  So, you get two different images presented to look as a big thing a foot or two away from your face.  This reduces eye strain and just quickly becomes natural, and you develop a new 3D adaptation for what you are working on in micro-scale.  Between the mon-ocular view on a screen and maybe some delay between the real object and the screen, I can't imagine that would be great.
