If you are willing to consider a PC platform, MicroBrightField in Colchester, VT
USA has just the product you need:
the Neurolucida 3D computer-microscopy software system.  It does everything you
have asked for; I know because I was its originator.
It's development has received support from the NIH both where it
started at the University of Maryland and at MBF.
Neurolucida, Windows based, is widely used (including Germany).
And yes, I have an interest in the company.  Just an old university
professor going commercial.
