58 yo daughter's Christmas gift.  Feb 03, 2010
By Julia Miller-howells "BuckeyeNurse"
My daughter is 8 and VERY curious about science. So, when she asked for a microscope I started my quest. I am a Registered Nurse who is tired of pointless, uneducational plastic toys that break. I wanted school quality & durability and I found it in this microscope! It is the real deal with the metal body, lights, and different magnifications. Not to mention my daughter is head over heals with it, so am I. You never know buying something online what you will get.
The only part I would change is making it a Bi instead of a monocular.

If you purchase this microscope, I hope you enjoy it.

5Introduce your child to the wonders of the hidden world!!  Apr 26, 2010
By C. Townsend
Fantastic product. The microscope is very sturdy. The inclusion of the LED underlight is a big plus. Other models that use mirrors under the platform pale in comparison with the clarity of image provided by this feature.

My son got this for Christmas and spent the next couple days glued to it. The included slides are clean, clear and fascinating.

I wish the product had come with some blank slides for the junior scientist to create for themself, but there are kits available that you can buy separately.

5Most durable purchase for the price!  Apr 01, 2010
By Amanda G. Flemett "Amanda Flemett"
I bought this for my 11 year old son and he has enjoyed it immensly! In fact, the whole family has enjoyed using this microscope. I was surprised at how durable and how sturdy the product was, I was expecting plastic, but this is the real thing. I can remember using one similar in high school biology. This product is perfect for the first time microscope user who wants more than a cheap plastic version from Wal-Mart. I really recommend for the curious science buff!

5Not really a toy....which is a good thing.  Apr 27, 2010
By mpwathen55
This scope is like the ones used in high school. Very durable, and not a toy. My 11-year-old loves it. Get the package of example slide too, very cool.

Works very well, only trouble= once you focus something, it drops out unless you hold it.
