Magnifying or Scope for Inspection??

Looking to purchase either a Magnifying glass or a microScope for Inspecting new coral frags. What type of magnification is needed?? 5x lighted glass or a 30x loop?

You want a dissection scope, lower power, 5x-15x should be more than enough. Dual eye optics if you can swing the extra price as they are much nicer on the eyes.
