Saw this on ebay and seems really cool. Never dealt with micrscopes before so hoping someone can tell me if this one is good and a fair price.

I use the Carson Zorb, cheap at @$30.00 Doesn't come with very usable stands, so I improvised with the Styrofoam cups. L.E.D.s were a little too bright, so I used white candle wax to tone it down some.

Here is an interesting, very inexpensive, and easy to make setup if you have a smartphone.

The cameras in some smartphones (especially the iPhone) are simply amazing and can be used as microscopes. CCF member Wheatback built one and posted some amazing pics he took.

@Jaymon - great innovation with the cups!
