My husband ordered some pre-mounted slides (not sure which set, but they are very good - they include paramecium, bacteria, nerves, brain tissue, and the usual things like pollen and insect parts). With a top magnification of 400x we could just see the little specks that were the bacteria (as expected), but everything else was a joy to look at.
