    Hey guys. My teacher gf is looking to buy a basic microscope for her class to show them things like veins in leafs, pollen etc. The school are strapped to the bollix and have no interest so she wants to buy it herself.

    So do any of ye know where one could be bought for reasonable money. Not looking for anything fancy but would have to be of usable quality.

    What sort of money would she be looking at for a basic entry level ms?

    Thanks!

    I'm sure she could find something on ebay that would be of use:

    Lidl / Aldi have done a few microscopes over the years, stick a want ad on adverts.ie

    you could look out for a USB microscope , all it means is it's got a web cam so the class can can look at on a laptop
