If you are looking for a quality Microscope at a low price this is the one to get. I have bought microscopes before and returned them to the store, but this is not a cheap piece of junk but a precision piece of equipment and I am keeping this one. I would recommend this to everyone. You can never buy this quality at Wal*Mart or any where else, as soon as I seen how the lenses were packed I knew I didn't make a mistake in buying this scope. Take my word for it..It is a nice Microscope and they could get 175 to 185 dollars for it..The only thing I didn't like was that no slides were included but I bought those separate..I'd buy another one if I needed to...Enjoy...Keithmj

Good for a beginner's first experience with the microscopic world. Easy to use, three magnification lenses. High quality for the price.

I have three little goats that I am treating with an herbal dewormer and I wanted to know if it was working so I bought the Celestron 4030. What fun it is to see all the "stuff" in their poop. This microscope was very easy to set up and with just a little reading in the manual that accompanies it I was ready to go. By the way - the herbs are working.
