 expensive toy April 7, 2008

 very powerful toy February 29, 2008

I purchased this for the magnification power alone. no other set for less than a hundred dollars will get close to 1200x mag. all the gripes about it are true, it is cheap, and it does move around as you try and focus, but you can focus it, and the instructions were hidden in the bottom of the box. I almost missed them too.
the accessories are a joke, the light is very orange, the projector hood is useless, but it has the power we were looking for, so overall, I got exactly what I excpected. if you want "perfect" look somewhere else, If you want affordable power, you might consider this one.
Poor optical quality December 4, 2007

This scopes is not up to standard at all. If you are looking for a toy, there are much cheaper option. If you are hoping to kindle your kids' interest in science with this scope, forget it!! The optical quality is very poor. Also, you can only get a some what clear image from the projector if you hold the paper within 2 inches from the projector. My son and I wasted a whole month waiting for this scope to arrive, and we have decided to return it after using it for less than an hour.
Great microscope for the price October 7, 2007

I have tried out a few other microscopes in the same price range (as I cannot afford a professional one and I need one for homeschooling) and this one is by far the best. Other ones I couldn't get to focus no matter what I did or how many hours I tried, but this one could focus right away. I would definitely recommend this one if you need to stay around this price range.
