 Great! May 30, 2008

I bought this microscope for my 11 year old daughter and she absolutely loves it. Its got a very lightweight design and is easy to carry around. Even with only a mirror as a light source, it still has great lighting (you either need to be viewing in a very well-lit room or in a sunny area.) This microscope is good for anybody looking for a cool new "toy." Great for all ages.
Good microscope for beginners January 18, 2008

For the price, it's a great deal. It's made of glass and metal. It's no cheap plastic, so it has some weight to it. Only thing I wish it came with was light. When viewing in the microscope, the object is quite dark. You either need a really well-lit room to view under your microscope, or a flashlight to see the slide. But overall, it's a good microscope.
Well worth the money! Very, very cool. December 25, 2007

I bought this Microscope for the 11 year old science freak in my house. He loves it. It was all he wanted for Christmas, he asked for a good quality Microscope. I did a lot of research, and decided that this one seemed to be of a higher educational grade (than other brands which seemed to be more like a toy). This is high quality, not a cheap toy.
He had the biggest smile on his face when he woke up this morning and he got right down to buisness. It comes with 5 prepared slides which are of good quality, and are packaged nicely in a small plastic box. He then took the blank slides I also purchased, and created his own slides of tap water, saliva, and blood (using one of my diabetic sons unused lancets). I even played around and the clarity is nice, the light is adjustable using different angles of the mirror.
It is a heavy duty Microscope that I know will see him through for many curious years.
Taking into consideration that I bought it on sale for 39.99, what a steal! You can't go wrong with this model.
Excellent Value December 22, 2007

I purchased this microscope for myself for Christmas. ( adult purchase ). It works great and opens up the fascinating world of tiny organisms to both adults and children. The build quality is excellent and it feels like a real instrument and not a toy. It is a very good value. I put some Rio Grande River water under it and it was amazing what was living in that water ! I highly recommend it for anyone interested in seeing things our naked eye cannot.
