I am considering buying a microscope for my 10 year old daughter.  I like to get
a good quality (i.e. not a toy) yet not too expensive one (say, under ~$250).  
I welcome advice about which brand/model to look for since I am very ignorant 
about this market.  Is there any magazine which publishes reviews of such 
hardware? I know Edmund has a line of inexpensive microscopes.  Any opinion 
about them?  Also, pointers to used equipment market are equally welcome.
Please e-mail, thanks.
