I am looking into buying a compound light microscopes for college. I am majoring in biochemistry and then planning on going into med school. So.. I want a quality microscope to look at cells, run experiments and such. I am not looking to spend a ton of money on a microscope. I just need one that gets the job done very well and is affordable. I am looking for suggestions of brands, types, the magnification I need, anything! It would be awesome if you could tell me the best microscope (the exact one) for what I need
