It depends on your type of microscope. If you want to look at petri dishes you will need an inverted microscope.
Otherwise, what you need are glass microscope slides.

But if you still want petri dishes you can buy them here
http://www.surgicalshop.com/laboratory_supplies/plasticware_petridishes.html
There are many other companies that sell them
I recommend the plastic ones because the glass is usually too thick to use in a microscope.
Finally. You can buy agar agar instead of gelatin.
The good thing about agar agar is that you can melt it and use it again, unlike gelatin.

They're quite inexpensive. Amazon doesn't sell them itself; they're really just a storefront for science-supply houses like Science Stuff. You can also get them directly from places like Carolina Biological Supply:

You'll find all sorts of things to look at under the microscope there. I highly recommend their catalog.

Playing with my microscope! I need to find out where I can get petri dishes so I can set up gelatin dishes. I'm such a nerd.
