4.0 out of 5 stars Suitable for kids but not adult starters
The kit is good enough, but the plastic material from bottom to top including the slides, that is something to note, it is lightweight as mentioned. I did not like the plastic toy in our tables. Anyway great kit for your kids.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money. Get a Meade.
I know that's blunt, but the images are completely unacceptable on this microscope. As a child, I had a microscope much like the TASCO I purchased.

I know that's blunt, but the images are completely unacceptable on this microscope. As a child, I had a microscope much like the TASCO I purchased. Now, as a working scientist/laboratory technician with considerable microscopy, I know why I was so unhappy with that microscope. For the same reasons I don't recommend this microscope, because it's difficult to focus and even when focused the images are poor. For an additional 30 dollars, your child could have a microscope that actually works, and might not merely gather dust after the New Year.

1.0 out of 5 stars Junk., December 21, 2001

This review is from: Tasco 1200x Zoom Microscope w/Case and 68 Piece Kit (Electronics)
The only thing this piece of junk will accomplish is to disappoint a child and discourage them from develping scientific interests. It's useless. Literally. It cannot be used as a microscope.

Either buy a better microscope, like the Meade sold by Amazon, or buy a quality hand-held magnifying glass.
