 Very Nice Microscope May 7, 2007

I bought one of these for my 10 year old. I was very pleased with this purchase. This microscope is well made, durable, and contains quality optics. It is as good of a microscope as you would find in a high school lab. With the upper light you can zoom in on coins, seeds, etc. with clarity. It makes a perfect birthday gift.

I did a lot of searching for a microscope for my 7-year old daughter. I almost bought a USB scope but glad I didn't. I'm pretty impressed with this one. Focus is firm and very smooth. Optics are sound and the upper and lower lights make this very versatile. LED lights are easy on the batteries and no cord is needed to operate. The high power is not usable from above but this is stated in the manual. The slides and include equipment is a nice starter package. My 7-year old is THRILLED with it and I'm pleased with the value for $50. I'm sure we will get many hours of exploration with this scope! The only thing this scope is missing is a good carrying/storage case. The inclusion of that would make this a perfect item!

After receiving a 28-piece microscope kit for Christmas that had a plastic scope that broke within 5 minutes, we were in a dilemma: Our son decided he really wanted a microscope, but we didn't want to get burned again. After much research, a science teacher at my school said she bought this for her child. She said the quality was great and that it does things some of the scopes in her high school lab didn't do. We bought it for our son's birthday and it's a huge hit! It is made of very durable materials, is easy to use, and is an extremely high quality for the price. My sons are 7 and 9 and we've had a blast with it! The fact that it's a duo allows you to view slides and objects they pick up around the house. The were amazed when we put different types of print under it to see the difference. I bought a book that Amazon recommended to go with it, and the box of extra slides they listed, and I see us having hours of educational fun. If you don't get a book of experiments and activities, you might run out of ideas quicker. With the great bargain you're getting on the scope, another $10 on a book isn't a huge deal. We haven't used any of the slide-making tools that came with it, but there's a nice bag of goodies. This is a great product that will allow the family to enjoy together and learn in the process. I seriously see this as something we'll use through high school, and will help immensly when the dreaded science projects start being assigned! Don't spend any more money than this. It's just not necessary! From personal experience, research before buying anything cheaper. You'll be compromising on quality and possibly trying to explain to your child why his Christmas present needs to go in the trash.

I bought this for Christmas for my 7yo daughter. When I tested it before wrapping, one of the lights was out. I called the company directly and received the BEST service. They had a return shipping label emailed to me that day, I sent it out the same day, and they shipped a new one as soon as the old one was entered in tracking. Got it in plenty of time for Christmas.
A note on the high power lens: most scopes require oil immersion for the high power, which is not included. I might try that on my own. A carrying case would be helpful. However this is a wonderful microscope at a great price backed by super service. Lightweight, durable, and no cord limits.
Best microscope for the money! January 2, 2008

This purchase was prompted when I made the mistake of buying another brand without reading reviews. I'm so happy with this microscope as it is of a much higher (much, much higher) quality than the other one I bought. Heavier, made of metal, with two different light sources, I tested it before giving my nephews another that didn't work and was very impressed (and entertained!) while using it to view the included slides and examine a knife blade and a napkin...two items that were sitting nearby while I tested it, lol. It was so cool to use the magnification features!!
The ONLY thing that I don't like is that the eye-lens just "sits" inside the tube and if you aren't careful, it will fall out if the microscope is tipped at an angle while you carry it from place to place...a big problem for kids. A piece of scotch tape can prevent the glass lens from falling out, but it's one thing I hope the manufacturer will consider in the future.
Great buy!!!
