I have a previous post showing a Celestron 10x-150x power scope and had another on order. This one is a Veho Discovery 20x-400x. It is a little harder to fine tune but is amazing on its uses. Just a note if you buy one- it comes with a clear lens cover I failed to remove prior to use and was getting discouraged with the images.
For general purpose the Celestron is a great value, but for more in depth work with better images and lighting control this one is a nice tool if you are patient using it.

Wonder what's next - the two copper atoms in quadrant 4-bc2 are not aligned properly!
Great pictures - enjoy!

Wow! Very nice, With something That powerful I'd love to see what a stink bug looks like. My grandchildren love to look at them through mine, but yours would be a big wow!!!

I started off way back with a celestron handheld. Great zooms on it, however, the software for capturing is crap, as is the overpowered lighting. I suggest saving up and getting a cheaper AMScope + lighting fixtures. Trust me, it'll be worth it after using it for a day.
