This was purchased for a Christmas present. It looks just like the picture. The screen makes it fun for the younger sibling too but could be a little better quality. My nephew finally got this for Christmas and while he's having fun, the images are not as great as you might expect. The color barely shows up so the images seem black and white. I think he'll get tired of it quickly without the color. Was ordered November 11th but didn't arrive until December 11th even though it was listed as in stock.

This review is from: Learning Resources - Quantum Big Screen Microscope (Toy)

Bought this for my Kindergarten classroom and was sorely disappointed. Light source is not bright enough to see anything but a dark, shadowy image. It wasn't good enough to use even one time. I should've returned it, but didn't. For two years, it's been sitting in my classroom closet.

This review is from: Learning Resources - Quantum Big Screen Microscope (Toy)

The item was received and appeared to be in good condition. However, when I tried to use it all I saw was shadows and then the light source stopped working. The idea behind this product is great but it's durability is poor.
