Since we are at the topic of microscopes, here's the best pocket microscope I know of: Carson MicrcoBrite Plus. It has magnification 60-120x [1]. The same manufacturer makes a few more models. I personally bought this model and 3 others, some of them multiple times (they make for nice presents):20-60x, 60-75x, 60-120x (this one), and 100-250x. I also bought some other pocket microscopes from other manufacturers, Carson leaves them in the dust. And among Carsons, this one is in my opinion the best. I am not affiliated with them in any way, I'm simply a happy customer.
Now, I'd like to make the jump to a higher magnification microscope, like 1000x, but they start being expensive, and you can't just use the strategy "buy and throw if you don't like" with them. If anyone from the HN crowd has any recommendations, that would be much appreciated.

I purchased the "Carson MicroBrite Plus 60x-120x Power LED Lighted Pocket Microscope"[1] for $15 on Amazon.
I love it for its portability and durability-- I can pop it in my pocket or backpack and check out stuff on nature trails.
...Checking out its amazon page I also see this related, more powerful product for $20: "Carson MicroFlip 100x-250x LED and UV Lighted Pocket Microscope with Flip Down Slide Base and Smartphone Digiscoping Clip" [2]
And a search for 1000x microscope yields this $60 one "LCD Digital Microscope,4.3 Inch 1080P 10 Megapixels,1-1000X Magnification Zoom Wireless USB Stereo Microscope Camera,10MP Camera Video Recorder with HD Screen" [3]
