[DIYbio] Which microscope?

Been lurking here for a while soaking up the information.

I have a question on what microscope to get to start off with. I read
about the 1000x power being good for seeing better details of cells is
that something I should consider or would something will lesser power
work? Also I want to get my two kids (6 and 8 years old) involved with
this as well as the have expressed an interest.

So what is a good microscope to consider and what are some good
sources? I don't want to go crazy overboard on the microscope but
don't mind spending a little extra for quality.

Thanks
