keeping in mind that I have 9 children, so it's bound to be well used for lower levels and college level science.

I did a search, but it pulled up way too much to sift thorugh!

Have you checked out Sonlight Curriculum's microscope which they sell with their Biology course? It looks like a great deal to me. $240

Martha, my husband got some very good deals on eBay, buying 'scopes from universities and labs when they were upgrading. The most important thing to pay attention to is GREAT OPTICS.

Home Science Tools sells several types of microscopes. I am considering purchasing from them next year when my dd does bio.

They have a comparison chart to help the novice decide which scope is the appropriate one to purchase:
