Review: Worth every penny. - Brilliant microscope! I had reservations due to the price, but to be honest, it was bought for my son who turned 7 and it's great. It can zoom in so well and is easy to focus. Obviously it is a delicate piece of apparatus but with a little care you can get some excellent results. I'd definitely recommend.
Review: Very good quality for the price. - Seem to be well made and quite robust for the price. Tried out briefly and was quite impressed with the quality for what to me was a relatively petit microscope. Bought two, one for my Grandson and one for a friends son, so only tried one of them briefly. I've used various microscopes over the years and these seem like quite good imitations of the professional ones of years ago with added bonus of LED lighting. The plastic slide holders looked a bit fragile but should last with a little care.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent as a beginners microscope
*by P***M on 21 March 2017*

Excellent as a beginners microscope. It has a light which is very helpful and lots of accessories. The only thing it doesn't include is some stain which you need when making your own slides (some premade slides are included) . Well worth the money.
