I am thinking about getting a simple, easy-to-use microscope for my 7
year old granddaughter. She loves bugs. She has an ant farm and a fish
tank. I think she would enjoy looking at live things, such as little
critters in pond water and the like as well as leaves, salt crystals,
etc.

I have been reading recent posts. It seems that a stereo zoom scope
would be the choice.

I (repectfully) disagree with the other posters. I would get a Digital Blue QX5:
