I am all about paying less for tech. Many of you have one or two teens taking Biology in high school. I would not buy an expensive microscope. Yes, I have a few, high quality microscopes. I teach Biology for Co-op frequently. Most of the time we use digital, USB microscopes, take screen-shots, and sketch. Amscope is a better brand. Another option is a clip-on lens for cell phone cameras. Here is a post about toy microscopes. I was surprised by the quality of the microscope. If you can snag a clip-on lens for your cell phone for about $5, this is a good bet. They are tricky to focus, but produce decent images. Your teen can take a screen-shot and then sketch it.
