I'm looking to get a cheap as possible microscope to help ID possible Dinos

two questions

1) what times magnification do you need? would 1800X do?
2) Are there any good ones on Amazon who shop international? Links please

Amscope makes good ones for this purpose, like the above recommended.
Stay away from scopes described as "toy" or "kids". But ones described as "student" work really well.

Check offer up, and the like. My mom bought me one many years ago from a pawn shop, you might check there too. My scope goes up to 600x and it's enough for looking at cells.
