Questions & Answers

Is it a compound or stereo microscope?

I'm not sure what the difference is, but we were bidding on an 11-year-old. It was functional, but I would not purchase it again. Maybe it'd be fine for a 5-year-old. Basically, it was designed to be a toy for children.

Is it possible to put objects in it that do not require a slide (for example, grass blades)?

Hello,br>You certainly can, but you'll need a good source of lighting from the top to see anything, as this model only has lighting from the bottom. br>Thank you for contacting us, and we look forward to hearing from you.

What is the number of prepared slides included with this microscope?

There are 8 slides included in the package. To go along with it, I bought some pre-made slides.

It's been a year since I've had this

5/5

My granddaughter is enthralled by it and has amassed a collection of samples to peruse. It takes some practice to figure out how to adjust the light, but once you do, it's a lot of fun. It's holding up, but I make certain she carefully stores it. It's not a toy, believe it or not.

Simply keep looking

3/5

I had high expectations; I understand it wasn't expensive, but the quality is poor. The book, on the other hand, is quite interesting.

3/5

The microscope was unable to reveal anything. I'm a biologist, so I'm used to working with them.

A 7-year-old boy received it as a gift. It was a hit with him.

It's fine, but the packaging is cheap

3/5

The packaging was dreadful, and the casenis appeared to be of low quality. Because it's a gift, I'm not impressed. I'm hoping for the best with the scope.
