40X-2500X Microscope Laboratory Microscope for Adults with LED, Double 3D Mechanical Stage, Abbe Spotting Scope for Students Children Adults Laboratory Education Science Doppelt Tisch

I researched microscopes a lot and knew I needed a high resolution to really be able to see cells etc. This microscope turned out to be great. My 9 year old is looking at EVERYTHING! I love it because you can just look with a low magnification at a wing or bug leg and it's like a fantastic magnifying glass, or you can switch the magnification to 2500 and see cells. It comes with a bunch of premade slides and extra slides and cover plates. It also comes with a phone holder to take photographs through the lens, and an attachment to see images on the computer. I had one like this when I was little and I am super pleased that it turned out to be great. It's also excellently packaged, so arrived in tact. I'd definitely recommend this!

Solid, this is a legit lab scope, has basically all the bells and whistles (and then some). Great value.

While I can still use it plugged in, I cannot move it away from an outlet. The battery compartment has a slot that has 2 negative ends.

Amazing quality!

Complete piece of junk. Can see light, can see dust, but can't see anything on the specimen slides. It was a Christmas present to stepdaughter; we didn't open it until after, so missed the return window. The minute I opened it and realized the cheap, poorly written instruction "manual" (hah - it's a brief useless piece of trash - was written by foreigners, I could have figured this was junk. Junk!!

It is definitely smaller than I would prefer. I appreciate that it is light weight. I have to say that if you are looking for a microscope to do incredibly detailed work, this one is not for you! I have worked with microscopes in my work life for many years so I might be a bit biased. I needed a home microscope for school purposes and didn't want to spend too much. I haven't had a chance to prepare my own slides yet but I have to say the prepared slides they provided aren't the highest quality. I did a preliminary test slide and got better results but as you get to the higher powers, the sharpness isn't great. The course and fine adjustments work as expected but moving the slide around the stage is clunky at best and isn't as easy as I would have hoped. The lowest power level is designed to make it nearly impossible to clean so that is also a negative. The instructions say that the Mac Computer app should "automatically load". It does not. After some internet searching - it appears to not have an app for Macs. That is disappointing since that was a function I was looking forward to. Overall it will work and isn't overly expensive but if you need something that needs to be used diagnostically or medically - this is not for you.

This was so well packaged. I couldn't wait to get started.it comes with blank slides and covers,I made a few slides while also looking at the ones it came with. Nothing was wrong with it,tried the colored filters and learning my way around everything.very pleased. Great for older children and adults.

What a great set, came with slides for viewing right away.
