I run hot & cold with microscopes. I brought a stereo-microscope (20x) in the 1990s. It is excellent for bringing in small things to just have a look and can be a lot of fun.
I brought the biological microscope when C19 lockdown was boring me. I like it, but to do it properly, everything needs to be flat and that seems like a lot of work, so I have only pottered around the edges. I tend to just use the 40x, 100x and I replaced the 1000x objective with a 200x.
It is well worth looking at U tube videos, or/and buying a book of two before obtaining gear.
