Can you use oil immersion lens with this microscope

Yes, as it clearly states about 5 times in the description above.

what light bulb do I buy for this microscope...we are in Tanzania and have blown both bulbs...so I need to know quickly

You can buy replacement bulbs at "Home Science Tools"--site is on the web. The bulb is either a 15 or 20 w tungsten at 115v

Is this good for a beginner? or should i get a different one?

This is definitely a good microscope for a beginner. We will also recommend to get some prepared and blank slides to along with the microscope to start with :)

How do you use it to see bacteria in pond water. I tried the 100x with oil and still dont see any.

IF your microscope actually works, and mine did NOT work on 100x power, you would use a concave slide and a slipcover.
