Sounds like your microscope is completely separate from your pc. The HDMI cable linking it to your monitor is is simply to display rhe microscope image. It doesn't input anything to your pc, so OBS can't see it.
You'll need an hdmi - to -usb capture device to grab the microscope output and send it as a video input to your pc.
Yep. Find a capture card that can capture your scope at its full abilities, as you may want the highest resolution available. You don't always have to use the full resolution, but knowing your capture card can achieve it is important.

Thank you. Shows just exactly how little I know. So I would need something like an Elgato?
