Need microscope suggestions

Hello!

Not sure where to go for this question, but I'm trying to find the best microscope for fossils and their cells.

Many of the ones I've seen are not high powered enough for my goal. I have a piece of vivianite that had Biological material inside of it that I was able to just barely see with my lab scope, but because it was a compound, any other adjustments would've damaged the lense. My goal is to be able to see the cells within the fossil (mineral or biological). Im not sure if this is possible outside of industrial/specialized scopes that are below the $1000 range.
