radioshack has these cool little pocket microscopes. i was skeptical at first, 7 bucks for a microscope? come on! must be complete garbage...

but, after finding nothing else, i went with the pocket pal, and WOW!! i've had table top micro's that don't show as much detail!!

but, with these, you have to cut a tiny leaf to put on a flat surface.

radioshack also sells three way magnifyers. not sure of the power, but i know they would work. i like my 60-100x micro, though, so i'm not even going to experiment with the magnifyer.

hope this helps
