What type of microscope would be best for viewing the samples you created in real life?

The type of microscope depends upon the type of sample created.

For observing a sample just to check out its presence of any substance, you can use a simple microscope, and to observe a sample by its morphological features with varying objective lens, you can use compound microscope. To study deep details of the sample, a microscope of high magnifying power like electron microscope can be used.
