My daughter is 8 and VERY curious about science. So, when she asked for a microscope I started my quest. I am a Registered Nurse who is tired of pointless, uneducational plastic toys that break. I wanted school quality & durability and I found it in this microscope! It is the real deal with the metal body, lights, and different magnifications. Not to mention my daughter is head over heals with it, so am I. You never know buying something online what you will get.
The only part I would change is making it a Bi instead of a monocular.

If you purchase this microscope, I hope you enjoy it.

Fantastic product. The microscope is very sturdy. The inclusion of the LED underlight is a big plus. Other models that use mirrors under the platform pale in comparison with the clarity of image provided by this feature.

My son got this for Christmas and spent the next couple days glued to it. The included slides are clean, clear and fascinating.

I wish the product had come with some blank slides for the junior scientist to create for themself, but there are kits available that you can buy separately.

I bought this for my 11 year old son and he has enjoyed it immensly! In fact, the whole family has enjoyed using this microscope. I was surprised at how durable and how sturdy the product was, I was expecting plastic, but this is the real thing. I can remember using one similar in high school biology. This product is perfect for the first time microscope user who wants more than a cheap plastic version from Wal-Mart. I really recommend for the curious science buff!

This scope is like the ones used in high school. Very durable, and not a toy. My 11-year-old loves it. Get the package of example slide too, very cool.

Works very well, only trouble= once you focus something, it drops out unless you hold it.

This is a great microscope for a beginner. There isn't a fine focus adjustment, but it does have a 40X objective which makes many things visible. Highly recommended for the beginning microscopist.

This microscope was a little bit expensive for a young child, but it is excellent. It's real lab-quality and is very durable.

This was a purchase for 2 Grand daughters age 9 & 11 They are curious about the world around them and I would rather have them research this discovery than set in front of the TV or video games

The kids were very excited to get this in the mail. They waited for it and asked every single day after school whether it had arrived. When it arrived, they were excited to experiment with it and view different items. But everything looks the same. All I could see was a black dot with respect to everything. Even the mold growing on leftovers did not show up. They put it away after the first day and now it's collecting dust. It looks educational on our shelf, though.

I purchase Christmas early, so I ordered this on Oct 7 for my Autistic grandchild. when it arrived, I just hid it in my closet until it was wrapped and put under the tree. We were VERY disappointed when my grandchild opened it with excitement on Christmas morning to find it in pieces! So of course, the time is up on getting a full refund or replacement. We shipped it back and are hoping for the best.
