    • Not just a toy...
About who might enjoy using it: This toy was purchased for my eight year old daughter who is very curious about the natural world and she loves using it. She's looked at plant matter, insects, foodstuffs, plastics, paper and even things like hairbands and stickers - anything that will fit on the stage and under the objectives. I was suprised that my nine year old daughter, who is more interested in the material world, began to use it as well. My son, who is 5, also likes to look through the monocular but he needs help to position and focus objects. My husband and I enjoy using it as well. As an aside, it assisted me with determining that one of my children had a case of pediculosis (head lice). I had no previous experience with head lice, and seeing that little critter under the 'scope allowed me to confirm the cause of her itching and begin home treatment immediately (but I am not recommending this as a substitute for proper medical care). About the microscope itself: I am very pleased with the quality for the price. I'm also impressed that it has both transmission (look thru transparent or translucent objects) and reflectance (look at three-dimensional detail) modes. The objectives give clear, sharp images and the magnification range is very good for recreational/educational purposes. The LED light source is bright and lasts a long time even when powered by regular alkaline batteries (3 AA). It is lightweight and portable and while not very small (~12" high), it's robust enough to survive camping trips or time at the cottage. The kit comes with four prepared slides that got my children interested right away. They have since learned how to prepare their own slides with the blank slides provided. The only issue that could be considered a drawback is that the distance between the stage and the objectives is not very big, so it is difficult to look at thicker/larger objects such as fingers, pens etc. It also requires some manual dexterity and patience when positioning objects for viewing. The reason I say it's not just a toy is because it has become like a routinely used appliance in our home. It resides in a common area and is available for use whenever someone has something interesting to look at. And even I am surprised at how many mundane things there are in our home that become very interesting up close! **UPDATE** This toy has admittedly collected dust for the past year and a half because one of the tiny screws holding the monocular and its base in place fell out rendering it unusable and we did not bother to repair it until recently. Since its repair though the kids are discovering it all over again and being older and somewhat wiser, are appreciating it from a new perspective. Although it broke, it was a simple fix and I would still recommend it and maybe advise that while robust, it's not indestructable as many things need to be in the hands of some (my) children. ... show more

My daughter had an Amazon gift card and picked this out for herself. She has been excitedly searching for things to observe since we got it. We both have had a lot of fun exploring and observing together. We included pics of how all the included prepared slides looked through the microscope(taken on my phone). I was actually surprised at the quality of this little microscope. Yes, most of it is plastic, but it's a nice, sturdy plastic and the parts that really matter, like the objectives, eyepiece tube, and lenses are metal and glass. It magnifies X40, X100, and X1000. I think one of my favorite features on this microscope is the LED lights sub-stage and overhead that allows you to view both slides and solid objects, such as plants, coins, and insects. It's also battery-powered so it allows for portable use "in the field." It comes with 5 blank slides, cover slides & slide labels for those, 4 prepared slides (ours came with paramecium, salt crystal, mouth smear, and pollen...those are really cool, the pollen was our favorite), 1 double well slide (for liquids, like pond water) all slides are glass, except for the double well slide, and come with 2 plastic carrying cases they all fit in. Also included are a plastic dropper, 2 bottles non-toxic "stain" (red & blue, they're actually just food coloring), forceps, lens paper, test tube (small, glass), Petri dish (small,plastic) and a user's manual. It also comes with a 1 year limited warranty. The user's manual has lots of pictures and explains what each piece is and how to use it. It also has lots of good ideas for observation like onion cell-mitosis, observing mold growth, insect observation, shaking grains of pollen on a slide, comparing hairs from various animals, observing different fibers, how to stain specimens, and more. My only real complaint about this microscope is there are some small spots that are always there when you look through the eyepiece (they can be seen on our pictures as small grey spots). I have cleaned all the outside lenses numerous times, so I know there must be either dust on the inside or just cheap glass lenses. It is only slightly annoying and we eventually got used to them. For those of you interested in this for a child, we have found the book Greg's Microscope by Millicent E. Selsam to be helpful in sparking young children's interest in exploring our world through a microscope. It's an old book no longer in print, but you can find it on eBay. All in all, this little microscope would be great for a child, beginner, or even just an "in the field" tool. Easy to use and lots of fun! ... show more

    • Good starter microsope for kids
Great first microscope. I did play with it too; I used microscopes at school, many years ago, and of course this won't compare with professional equipment, but it is good enough for kids. The resolution is good; if you have time to prepare your samples, you will have a lot of fun. The box include 5 blank plates; be sure to not break them, they are really fragile, and for sure not suitable for kids (the edges are sharp). Overall it is easy to use, you can look at simple things like stones, metal coin and also hair and bits of skin, but the fun is to watch very small items, although you need patience in preparing the samples, or just save time and get a pre-made set with most of the nice samples ready to be looked at. The light below is strong but not super strong, so if you use samples that are too thick, you won't see much. The top light is good but if you use the maximum magnification attachment, it will cover the top light so you won't see anything. the controls are simple, overall feel sturdy enough, although you want to supervise your kids, because there is no lock mechanism for the moving plate: you move it too close to the magnifier and you can actually break either the magnifier attachment or the sample. Once you find the right distance it works fine, but it takes a moment to get distracted and end up moving the plate too much, so beware of that. In the end, there are a lot of accessories to do preliminary observation on many things; I had no luck in observing living cells, so unless you have big bacteria or micro-organisms around, you won't be able to see living cells (I did try with some blood and some dirty water in a yard puddle and could not see much). Perfect as first microscope, I am having as much fun as the kids! ... show more
