Im looking into buying a microscope for parasite ID among other

for 100-400 magnifications. I've seen some online for under $100
that magnify to 10x-40x. I haven't been able to figure out if that
means 100-400? I have a jewelry loupe that I use for examination of
some of the more obvious pests but some of my fish kept off site
from my pond have a condition that I need to investigate further
with a microscope. Thanks in advance. sandra

I once bought one of those from Toys-R-Us for Elder Daughter. It
worked (and still works after ten years) fine, but be aware that it
has plastic optics so if there is a problem with it you may as well
throw it away.
