We are planning a new exhibit on microbiology.  We would like to include a microscope for visitors to use and see prepared slides of plant and animal cells.  We understand this will require a magnification of at least 100x, possibly greater.

We are having trouble locating a microscope sturdy enough for gallery use, with a magnification in this range.  Can anyone offer suggestions or recommendations?  Thanks!
