What Is the Best Microscope for Students? Leeuwenhoek's, Kid's, Stereo, Student, or Professional?

In this video, we will compare the capabilities of microscopes at different levels - from homemade to professional. We will examine how these microscopes handle magnifying parts of large objects, such as insects, bacteria, and thick specimens of living microorganisms.

I hope it will help you decide which level of microscope to choose for educational purposes – a "children's" microscope, a stereo microscope, a "student" compound microscope, a professional compound microscope, or perhaps a homemade one.
