 Piece of Junk - Don't buy May 13, 2009
By MN Mom
"Minnesota Mom"
We bought this for our child. It is terrible. The light doesn't work. The extra bulb is faulty. It is made of extremely cheap plastic. This is basically just a toy/prop but not really for viewing anything meaningfully. I wish we had spent more and gotten something of better quality and a useful learning tool.
I would not recommend this for anyone. It is terrible. Money out the window, basically.

 Very lightweight... not as good as it sounds Feb 05, 2008
By J. Eaves
"mother of 4"
I purchased this for my 8 year old 2nd grader. Its very lightweight and doesnt seem of very good quality materials. I should have went for a bit more expensive one. 2 of the slides were broken also. Thats no fun, especially when only a few came with it and the other set of 15 that we ordered didnt arrive until over one month later.

 good beginner's microscope Feb 11, 2009
By Heidi Zoll
a good beginner's microscope (you get what you pay for). My only complaint is that the light does not work very well, but my son is still able to use the microscope and for the most part enjoys it.

Got What She Paid For Feb 05, 2010
By Beltane Mama
"Beltane Mama"
My daughter, 11, decided she wanted this microscope because it looked functional and wasn't that expensive. She loves it. However, it's tricky to use and requires an experienced microscope user to adjust the light, because the lamp isn't properly focused. The little slides are poorly made and have so many bubbles that it's difficult to tell what's in the field, much less learn anything about it. We had much more fun making our own samples and viewing them on real slides (it is powerful enough to see red blood cells, but not much stronger).
It serves its purpose, and I love to hear "can I have a sample of that?" It's a good learning tool for a careful child. My 5-year-old likes this microscope too, but he gets a little too excited around it and the light doesn't stay put well enough for all that bouncing.

Skip This Microscope Apr 27, 2009
By Karan Scicouski
"KES"
I bought this for my seven year old daughter. My father, who spent 41 years of his life working in a laboratory, had trouble getting the device set up so we could see anything. It really is a toy - and very difficult to maneuver. I wish I had saved the money and bought a higher quality microscope from The Discovery Store.
