IMO, skip any view camera or this imaging need. Get a Leitz-Wild M420 with the lighting system needed and 4x5 film adapter if wanting to do film.
This image making system solved a LOT of problems with more optical capability than could ever be done using ANY view camera.. which is a lash-up at best.

The very best solution to macro-micro image needs to date. Higher magnification with other illumination needs can be addressed
with different microscopes set up for a camera. Lighting is a SERIOUS issue with microscopes.
If stuck trying this with a view camera. Use a monorail camera with the object to be imaged mounted on some method of support and lighting on to the camera monorail. Stability, vibration, setting image ratios and magnification will be "interesting"..
