What magnification is best for a school student's science microscope?

Is the Carson MicroFlip microscope safe for kids?

Yes, the Carson MicroFlip is designed as an educational tool for kids and students. However, adult supervision is recommended, especially when using the small slide specimens, which could be a choking hazard for very young children. The microscope itself is made of durable plastic.
