I'm going to be lazy and copy/paste a post I made a while ago

Quote:

Look for something that will give you 1000x magnification. Optical not digital magnification (digital is empty magnification ie no extra resolution). It should have a 100x oil immersion objective. Something with kohler illumination is good if you can find one. A mechanical stage is very useful (must have IMO). Go for a binocular (or trinocular if you want a dedicated camera port), monoculars are a migraine waiting to happen. Most people start with something like an amscope.

Search this forum for other microscope threads. There is lots of great information about what to look for in some of them.
