Amazon has a microscope and camera which connects to a laptop for $335. It looks exciting! In fact Amazon has several Cyber Monday deals for microscopes. Step away! Instead buy a USB microscope to connect to your laptop or Chromebook. Buy a set of 25 slides from Amscope. Have your teen focus the microscope slide with the digital microscope, take a screen-shot, sketch, and label the slide. Repeat 25 times. Job done. All of your children can play with the microscope. Look at paper currency, your skin, , etc. Make the USB microscope a Christmas present. See if you can beat the prices below for the microscope or the slides. The set of four packs of slides are fine for younger kids. I have a set I use to teach kids how to focus the microscope because the objects mounted on the slides are larger.
BTW I don’t have my teens stain their own slides. I never have any luck with the results. My classes just study prepared slides. They can make their own slides in college if they take Histology.
