Oh, wow, really good question! I wonder if you could combine some of the DIY microscope projects -- especially those based on the Raspberry Pi (which can do long exposures) -- with a spectrometer, perhaps building on the work by the #webvalley group? I imagine you'd need really long exposures to take a spectrum of a very small thing like that.
Update: I added a question to our new Q&A system posing a related possibility of using a Raspberry Pi cam: https://publiclab.org/questions/warren/09-28-2016/upgrade-a-diy-spectrometer-with-a-raspberry-pi-camera
Wow thanks for the tip. Yeah I will check out the group and see what I can find.

Hi, you might find some answers at http://rifevideos.com/the_rife_microscopes_information_and_blueprint_page.html . This site has a wealth of info which may be of interest.
I think a powerful source of monochromatic light coupled with counter rotating prisms to select a specific wavelength might give sufficient illumination to have the subject microbes/virii fluoresce.
Good luck with your research.
