    Customer Reviews

    Exceptional value for the moneyI'll start out by pointing out that this is a $35 microscope. It has its limitations, and I doubt if this model is in use at the CDC. But for the money, it's an excellent buy.We got this one for our five-year-old son, who enjoys it very much, and is able to use it. He started out with quite a bit of adult guidance, but he is now able to use it by himself.As far as I can tell, the optics are quite good. There do appear to be a couple of minor flaws, so that if the microscope is out of focus, some phantom images come into view. But as it is focused, they disappear, and you get a clear image.From some of the other reviews, it appears that the lamp sometimes fails to work. Ours works much better than expected, but I wouldn't consider the electric light to be critical. The microscope is actually easier to use with the mirror, and you generally get a better image. The trick is to place a bright light in front of the microscope, shining on the mirror. A desk lamp works well. Then, before attemting to focus the microscope, move the mirror around until the light through the eyepiece is brightest. Only then should you begin to focus. Start with the lowest magnification, carefully focus the image, and then carefully move the slide around to center the image. After you have focused it with the lowest magnification, then increase the magnification (without moving anything else), and then repeat the process of focusing. In most cases, it's best to stay with the lowest magnification. But you should always start with the lowest magnification.If the bulb burns out, it should be possible to replace it at any almost any hardware store. Simply show them the bulb, and they will find one the same shape and size. The only other piece of information you need to give is the voltage, which would be three volts. But again, if the bulb burns out or fails to work for some reason, better results can be obtained with the mirror. In any event, a burnt out lightbulb shouldn't induce the levels of trauma suggested by some other reviewers. You certainly shouldn't just stop using the microscope and simply wait for the manufacturer to send you a new bulb.Louis Pasteur probably didn't have an electric light on his microscope, and you child doesn't need one either!If you understand the limitations and take care when adjusting the focus knob, you will get excellent results from this microscope. It comes with enough prepared slides so that you can begin looking at things right away. I would recommend starting with the prepared slides. Once you've figured out how the microscope works, you will be able to move on to other items.Other reviewers have pointed out that many of the accessories are of very poor quality. The slides are actually quite good, and since they're plastic, you don't need to worry about breakage. Another reviewer correctly pointed out that the warning about sharp objects is absolutely unnecessary, since the "scalpel" is made out of plastic, and is incapable of cutting, intentionally or otherwise. We originally intended to remove the scalpel before giving the microscope to our son, but that was not necessary. The various other petri dishes, eye droppers, etc., are perfectly functional.This is not a toy microscope. It is a completely functional microscope that happens to be cheap enough that it can be given to kids as a very educational toy. It's an exceptional value for the money. 5Fine for my 7 year old, but not for lab useThis is one of those "you get what you pay for" devices. Cheap materials, very basic, but it DOES work. Proper focus is a little tricky, and the sample slides you get aren't too exciting. We did get some water out of the pond in our backyard and we were able to find some cool little critters, so it's a good entry-level microscope that can spark the curiousity of a young boy. But I will stress - the materials are VERY cheap, and this would not stand up to rigorous daily use. The litte screw that needs to be removed in order to install the batteries for the light was nearly impossible to take out without stripping the phillips heads, and turning the light on and off involves twisting the light assembly (no separate switch)....just a little mechanical contact. The packaging is worthless too...don't plan on reusing it for storage. 3Big hit with my 9-year oldThis microsope was a huge hit with my oldest son. He's been using it nonstop since opening it. While overall it's a good product, I do have some criticisms...+ The entire body is plastic. I almost broke off a critical part making what I would consider a minor adjustment. Be very cautious.+ The two eyepieces that came with it screw on and off (instead of slipping in), and do not do so easily. They were very easy to cross-thread and even when I had the threads correctly aligned, it was difficult and jerky to screw them in and out. I was sure I was about to break something.+ The two clips that hold slides in are stationary. They should at least be loose enough to swivel. Also there is no way to move the clips in an x-y coordinate system as I would expect from a decent microscope--instead you have to manually push the slide around with your finger, which obviously can be a very clunky process.+ The slides have a square in the middle for the specimen, but the slide covers are ROUND and too big to fit entirely into the square. What the heck? Horrible design decision there.+ Scalpel looks VERY real! It's non-dangerous plastic, though, but from more than 12 inches away it's hard to tell.Despite the above "cons" overall I really like this microscope and for the money it's a great value. It's received heavy use in the last week and hasn't broken, which is more than I can say about most mass-produced plastic toys these days. It has introduced my son to the microscopic world, and anything that can so significantly distract his attention from video games is a fantastic product in my opinion. 4(7 years old) it is a great. I ordered it with ( AmScope PS25 Prepared ...My granddaughter loves it, (7 years old) it is a great. I ordered it with ( AmScope PS25 Prepared Microscope Slide Set). This was suppose to stay in my house so we can look at stuff together, She insisted on taking it home and setting it up in her room so she can make her own slides. Better than a stupid barbie toy thats for sure 5Educational and funI bought this for my 10 year old grandson and he absolutely loves it. I wanted to get him something that was educational and would get his mind working without being on his electronic device playing video games. This did the trick. He looks for different things to put under the microscope and I gave him suggestions to look at an onion skin or some stagnant water drops. This is a great gift for kids and it is educational. 5Did Not WorkThis microscope never worked out of the box. I didn't find this out until it was too late to return it. I e-mailed the company and they ignored me. Pay a little more and order a sturdy microscope. 1I have had it for a week and the kids have been able to do their science projects just fine. My oldest is 12I worried a little bit after reading all the reviews about this microscope. Well, I have had it for a week and the kids have been able to do their science projects just fine. My oldest is 12, and thoroughly enjoys looking at things under the lens. Now, this is not for an adult. It is geared for children. It has a little led light that shines up into the plate to highlight the specimen. I'd say perfect for that young new science learner. Besides, for the price, I'd say it's great! 5A great microscope for a budding scientistOne of my sons favorite gifts this year. Once he got used to how the lenses work, he had a great time looking at the different specimens. And now he is ready to find his own specimens. You will need a secure place to store it and a cover to keep the dust off 5Very lightweightI was hoping this would have a little more heft to it, it being a microscope and all but for the most part it's entirely plastic aside from the prongs used to hold the slides in place. I would have given it five stars but within a short time of having it, it fell about two feet off of my daughters bedside table and broke the top off completely. Before that it did show nice, but barely microscopic images of the samples included. To my dismay however it did not magnify any thing else we tried to look at in any significant detail. Like algae, moss, dirt or slime, despite preparing the specimens on the extra slides in the necessary amount. I would probably try to spend a little more money in the future if possible to buy a microscope that was more functional and durable. 4Nice microscope for the priceI bought this for my oldest son a few years. He was eager to test it by looking at as many things as he could on the slides provided. I like that they provide a few slides with specimens on them just to give them an idea of the types of things they will see. I also think that it helps with getting them adjusted to the ocular settings that help them to see things best. He does not use it a lot now, but we are going to be using it again for ny younger son. 4
