 Great kids first microscope Nov 05, 2005
By Gary E. Vestal
"Adopting Father of Chinese"
We purchased this microscope for our adopted Chinese 11y son, as his first microscope ... he wants one for Xmas.
We found the built in illumination good, the optics good, the prepared slides very good, and the instructions OK. Wish they had provided more experiments, slide making instructions, etc..
We found the camera mounting accessory rather weak, but we can use strong rubber bands to assist holding the digital camera we got to use with it.
The projection accessory seems good for such an inexpensive set. We tried it in a dark bath room.
We found that one must be careful when screwing in the eyepiece lens, so one does not mess up the threads.
All in all ... we think, for the PRICE, that this will be a great first starting science learning toy/science tool for a child at age 11. Remembering back to the 1960s when we had them as kids, this is much better than what we had.
We also like that everything fits into the case and can be safely and nicely put away in a boys room, without being scattered all over the place, or in shoe boxes.

 98 Piece Microscope Feb 14, 2006
By sad dad
"tony"
We just got this microscope for my son's 10th birthday. We finally got to view a slide provided but the image was not good at all. The eyepiece is too small. The lenses seem to be out of line with the viewing hole in the platform. The projector did not work at all. The filter wheel does not turn. My son did not have a happy birthday with this item and this is what he wanted most. We will return it.

 Good for starters but dont expect too much. Jan 09, 2007
By E. GRANDERSON
I bought this item after reading a little reviews about it, but it was just like was reviewed. It is good to get young children excited about learning about a "micro-world". But you can also quickly loose their attention if it doesn't work really well. The lens is not very clear to make out what you are looking at. You have to keep the specimen very close and still under the scope to make out anything. Not good for kids with little patience

 My Grand Daughter loves this Mar 10, 2007
By Lee Carey
"cabinetman"
My Grand Daughter is 8 years old, this is the perfect gift for the budding little Scientist in your family. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is the case is a little hard to close. You have to really think thru the process of closing to make it work without spilling it's gutts.

Microscope Jan 06, 2009
By Mom in NM
This is definitely a toy. If you or your child are really interested in learning how to use a microscope and how to make slides. You may want to spend a little more money and get a quality microscope.
