Check out american science and surplus. You want 400x at least for bacteria, at 400x they look like tiny dots swimmong around. 1000x is nice, just tenderness you need immersion oil. Oil is cheap, just don't forget to get it. On a macro level, you can look at interesting colony morphology pretty easily with a dissecting 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
