This is the microscope I used while learning to hone...

Radio Shack Illuminated Mini Microscope
Illuminated Microscope - RadioShack.com
catalog# 63-1313
$12
2 AAA batteries, and magnifies 60x to 100x.

It worked well.

I never used the light. I used a 100 watt incandescent light bulb in a goose neck lamp. That was much better than the microscope light.
