  • Good for the price
Size: Adult Standard Color: Black
I’m an eye doctor and got this microscope to investigate the prevalence of demodex eyelash mites on my patients eyelids. At first, I wasn’t sure this scope was sensitive enough to detect them. But after playing around I was able to get what I needed. I do wish you were able to move and manipulate the slide L/R & U/D with a knob or fine tune adjustment as opposed to having to physically push it because doing so was reorienting my specimen. But it does enough of the trick to be able to say “yes - present” or “no — other bacteria”. Would be neat if they could include a small booklet on advanced staining of specimen and maybe some small bottles of dye to do it yourself. If they had a product like that I would go back to this company to purchase those items. ... show more

  • Lots of fun
Size: Adult Standard Color: Blue
Good value and does what we hoped. Have enjoyed exploring the everyday things around us up close. It comes with some prepared slides that are interesting too. I’ve used microscopes in college and this one is as good (minus the homework!)

  • Good basic microscope
Size: Adult Standard Color: Blue
I’ve had this microscope for several months but just recently opened it, as it was purchased in advance for a birthday. My #1 issue is that the 40x objective is terrible. For anything needing magnification less than 1000x, this has been a great microscope for elementary science. It’s pretty basic but I think they are upfront about that. I still find myself wishing that I could move the stage horizontally rather than adjusting the slide itself, because that is so imprecise. Overall I know it will be used but I will likely have to upgrade in a couple years ... show more

  • Amazing for price
Size: Adult Standard Color: Blue
The media could not be loaded. I got this microscope because I love science and I always wanted one. I couldn’t afford a bigger, more expensive version so I got this and it did great. My only complaint is the amount of dust that was in the stage lens and the lack of helpful directions. It does give basic instructions, but for an adult who has not used a microscope since they were a child, they may not remember *anything* about it and the instructions are not detailed enough for beginners. For instance, I could not figure out why I couldn’t see through the eyepiece. It turned out that I didn’t know the additional lens had to sit inside of the eyepiece. The dust was so heavy that I could not see my samples good at first but I managed to clean it with canned air. I’m giving 5 stars because despite the 2 issues I had, the abilities of this little microscope is amazing and well worth it. The photos I’ve attached are: (2 of Old Ted provided samples): small intestine & mosquito. Salt speck. The video included is: a sample of rain water from my backyard. It’s AMAZING what you can see with this! ... show more

  • Good first time microscope
Size: Adult Standard Color: Blue
Good for what it is but don’t expect an electron microscope… The recipient is very happy with it and uses it frequently.

  • Great little student microscope
Size: Adult Standard Color: Blue
It works really well. Even as a parent is having fun with it. The slides that come with it have good quality specimens. And the extra slides are nice to put other things in it to look at up close. The microscope is plenty powerful for us. It’s sturdy and well made.

  • Very easy to use, Reading instructions is important
Size: Adult Standard Color: Blue
I bought this because I've wanted one since I was 5 years old what you got back then wasn't much. I was very impressed with the quality and ease of use of this. I saw others reviews one about the lights being too bright and that was easy to adjust. Just a really good product I'm sending one to my grandson I believe this would make a great gift for young kids as well as adults , I am very happy with it ... show more
