5.0 out of 5 stars Great for Children and Parents, May 19, 2006

I had one of these microscopes as a child, and absolutely loved it. It is one of a select handful of childhood gifts that left enough of an impression that I still remember it today.

This microscope is inexpensive, compact, hardy, and easy to use. No messing around with slides and such. You just place the end of the microscope on whatever you want to look at, turn the light on, and focus. I carried this around with me a lot, to look at bugs, plants, the fibers of fabric, my own skin, and whatever else caught my eye. It lasted from when I was 8 until well into high school.

The relatively low magnification makes it unsuitable for serious scientific work, but for the scientifically curious child or adult, this microscope is a must have.

This review is from: SE Illuminated Pocket Microscope 30X (Misc.)

My fifth grade scientists totally love this product for looking at the class collection of rocks and minerals. The pocket microscopes are very portable which makes observation outdoors easy. Science became much more interesting with tools that are fairly low in cost.

3.0 out of 5 stars Excellent seller, questionable item., December 15, 2007

First one I got lacked a lightbulb. The seller sent me a replacement, but it shorted out on first use. Seller then sent me a third one which WORKS. I'd say this item is made with poor quality control, but if you get one that works, it's great. The seller "Hydrogardens" deserves a star for prompt free multiple replacement!
