My daughter had an Amazon gift card and picked this out for herself. She has been excitedly searching for things to observe since we got it. We both have had a lot of fun exploring and observing together.

Pleasantly surprised at how well this scope works. We had tried the AmScope beginner scope/kit and was very disappointed and returned it. I remember having a simple but solid microscope when I was a kid and wanted my kids to share that experience. Christmas morning they opened the scope and I installed the batteries. We had also ordered a separate set of prepared slides to have some good examples to look at. The kids were able to operate the scope with a little help, and soon were finding random things to examine. For elementary school-age kids I think this is a good introductory microscope.

My 6yr old uses this microscope on a daily basis. It could be because her dad always finds something new for her to inspect, but she tries to find things to look at on her own as well. This microscope has been an incentive for my daughter to become more inquisitive of her surroundings. We couldn’t be more pleased. I was very happy about the fact that the microscope functions in duality by having both a stereo- and compound-setting light for which to observe one specimen in 2 different ways. For a microscope that isn’t very heavy or large, it does the job and we’re very happy that we made the purchase. Especially since my 6yr old has become increasingly curious about the structure of objects and things.

We originally bought the “AmScope M30-ABS-KT51 51-piece 300x-600x-1200x Metal Frame Kids Student Beginner Compound Microscope Kit” and returned it immediately, and bought this microscope. What a difference! It is well made, not plastic, and you can actually see things under it, vs the other microscope. Definitely worth spending the extra 30$ to purchase this set. It still comes with a few tools, and extra clear and pre-made slides. This is a nice microscope for the money and will be around for a while. Also, I believe the lenses are glass, and the other microscope seemed like plastic.

We bought this for my grandson’s 10th Birthday. What a hit!! He loves science, so he went nuts when he saw this. Ever since he opened it up, he’s been examining everything he can under the microscope! I’m very pleased with the quality. I didn’t want to spend a small fortune on his first microscope, but i didn’t want anything flimsy either. We were very pleased. I feel like these were the type of microscopes we used in middle school many years ago! I feel with proper care and handling this will last for many years. This came exactly as described. Highly recommend! Aayden said it was his favorite present! I felt like I did good.

I’m really impressed with the optical quality of this scope. I found myself just as enthralled with the microscopic world as my 10-year-old. We’ve spent hours around the house and yard coming up with different things to look at under the scope. The upper and lower lights and the rest of the accessories make this a real keeper.

My daughter has had this for almost a year now. She is 11 yrs old. She is a very active and intelligent girl. She has used it hundreds of times and so has her two younger brothers. I bought some slides with it and those were good, but making our own slides is the best. We have done all kinds of things. It has opened her mind up to the world that is out there. She asks questions.
The secret is to do it with her. Not all the time, but I found a spider nest with an egg cocoon. So we have been looking at that. We also looked at an ant and another spider from the same web. Very cool stuff. She and her friends have been looking at bits of nails, hair, spices, salts, makeup, and other things that they find.
It is sturdy. Metal construction. Solid design. I had a microscope when I was 7 and had it for years. It was all plastic. But this one is solid.
I will be buying more for my two boys.

Worked like a charm! I gave this to my 10 year old son as a gift. Wow!!! He used it for hours and hours and hours! Everyday after school! So did the rest of the family! It came with a lot of very good slides. I purchased extra slides and blank slides to go with it. So we all found cool stuff to make the new slides and had hours of fun looking at the awesome stuff under the microscope!
Amazon Customer –
Five stars, would buy it again. Have had this for about a year. For the price and easy of use, it’s been nice to have around the house. Solid enough to feel durable. While some “toys” sit on the shelf forever, at least this one gets pulled down now and then when we need to take a closer look at something. It’s also VERY handy to be able to look top-down, and not just through a slide.

So easy to use, compared to the microscopes we had as kids! It comes with a few prepared slides that are quite nice, but you will want more. We’ve gotten a lot of use out of it for looking at all kinds of things–bugs, dust, feathers, and lots of slides. One of the things I like best about it is that the light is battery powered, so it is very portable. You can set the focus, then hand it around to the kids, or take it outside, etc. Very nice feature, easy to use, and fun. I got this for my 9 year old, and she does fine with it by herself, but my 6 year old really likes to use it too, though I generally focus it for her.
