deAO Kids Microscope Kit 100X-1200X Magnification, Science Kits with LED Light, Portable Educational Toy for Ages 8-12, Beginner Science Experiment Tools

My daughter was doing a science fair project on the DNA of strawberries and bananas! This microscope was perfect. You could see the actual DNA in every slide we put in there. It also comes with its own little slides of stuff on them and everything you need to use the microscope. If we didn't have to buy batteries for the light but that's really nothing. It worked perfect and it was actually very sturdy for the price of paid. If you're wanting to buy a microscope to share some memories with your children or if you need one for a science fair, I really suggest this one! You won't be disappointed

It looks great it is a gift dpfor my Great Grandson so he will be opening it at Christmas.

This little microscopic is fantastic for the price tagThe first thing you notice is the fact that it has plenty of space for the lenses and to look at the objects in the background

The microscope is a good child's introduction to a multi-lens microscopic world but is rather more a toy than a frequent use instrument.The focus is such that the lenses have to be almost touching the slide for the subject to be defined and there are slight differences in alignment of the 3 lenses on the turret, no matter how careful you are in rotating and stopping them, such that you have to realign the slide slightly for each one. Obviously the field of view is quite restricted.My (clumsy) 7 year old granddaughter uses it quite capably though and so ease of use is good. She enjoys the unfolding of miniature secrets of nature.

Bought for a 9 year old girl and she loves it.

It feels lightweight but seemingly works ok for occcasional use. Good for the 7-10 age range but if used more often then I would get a more robust model
