One microscope will not cover all the things you have mentioned. A
Dissecting ( preferably stereo) microscope is needed for Acarine ( it can be
done using a X10 hand lens on stand but it is awkward. The magnification
wanted is X10 or X20.

For nosema a compound microscope with a minimum of X200 is required but X400
is preferable, For AFB spores you need X1000 for Pollen identification the
usual magnification is X400
