It is going to be a Christmas gift for our grandson, but my husband checked it out right away to see what it was like and he was very impressed! He does not impress easily :) I reviewed quite a few microscopes and felt this one would be the best for the grandson (he is 9 years old) and can hardly wait to give it to him.

It seems like a solid piece of equipment, though I've only looked at it briefly so far. Happily surprised to see that it comes with a small set of prepared slides.

My 10 year old son got this for his birthday and loves this microscope. BUT... we had a problem when he used it heavily the first few days. My son tends to hold onto the shaft of the eye piece with his hand while he looks through the top of the eye piece with his eye (which should be just fine). Touching this piece repeatedly as he uses the microscope causes the eye piece to unscrew. I noticed this a few times and tightened it for him. However, when he was using it on the evening of the second day he had it, the eye piece inadvertently unscrewed again and fell off onto the hard ceramic tile floor. The pieces inside the eye piece scattered and the lenses got chipped. Through trial and error, my husband reassembled it so it is useful but is not confident that it is reassembled correctly. Other than the problems with the eye piece unscrewing and getting damaged, he loves the microscope. It is easy to use and he loves the fact that there are two lights and three magnifications. He is thrilled that it is so portable and can take it outside in the yard without needing to be plugged in. He loves the slides that come with the microscope and can't wait to get some pond water to try to find some real living things to look at. With the exception of the eye piece, this seems to be a nice product. (Note from Fat Brain Toys: In hopes of magnifying this boy's clear love of science, we contacted the manufacturer and requested a new eye piece be sent for his microscope.)

Excellent product. High quality - easy to use and child friendly. My son has spent many hours learning about the thing we normally don't see. This activity has inspired many questions about the world around us.
The dual lighting element is very useful for more opaque item viewing.

This microscope is very well built. I like the two lights (one from below for slides and above for larger objects). It comes with stains, tweezers, slides and lots of ideas for experiments. Just a great buy.
