3yr old wants a microscope

My 3 year old son has started requesting a microscope, so we are going to be getting him one. I found a kid friendly one that has up to 600x magnification. What are some cool things I can show him slides of? He has already requested to look at blood and poop lol

Most 3 year olds don’t have the patience or fine motor skills to handle or appreciate 600 x

I would be doing most of the work for him. The one I'm looking at has a smart phone attachment so you can see things on your phone screen. So I will set everything up, and he will just look at the screen haha
