My dad got my little guy a microscope from Orion (same guys that make telescopes) rather than an eyepiece, it has a digital back. Takes pretty good videos and images. It is a surprisingly affordable and decent outfit! History: My dad was a professional microscopist at Kodak as part of his chemistry career.
Only problem is it's highest level of magnification is pretty close to the slide, so you really need some thin slices to view them properly.
I will see if I can post some images I took for examples.
Microscope Much much better than expected. Of course I have played with it far more than my son has.
