If I recall my cell biology classes correctly, the basic high school and
university microscopes have settings for X10, X40 and X100. I don't recall
which setting we used for chromosome counts (X40 or X100) but the basic
microscope was certainly sufficient. I believe that it costs a few hundred
dollars. The expensive part of doing chromosome counts professionally is
the photographic equipment.
