Unless you really want a microscope yourself (and a Xmas present for your 10 yo is just the excuse to buy one) , I'd not spend a lot on a microscope for such a young child.
I'd go a toy one from Tasco or the likes to start off.... that way uou wont be much out of pocket. $400 for a microscope for a 10 yo is too expensive IMO .... I take it the kid will get more than one present.
