Does anyone know what kind of electron microscope should I buy for a amateur/hobbyist ? I want to be able to view the design layers of IC's once de-capped.

This topic isn't related to PCB design. However, I checked eBay and the cheapest one is $2,500. Others go for $8K or more. I saw a price for a new one at $25K. This is one serious hobby!

Check out Applied Sciences' Youtube channel. He plays with Electron Scopes quite a bit. https://www.youtube.com/user/bkraz333
