Mini Microscope for Kids, Pocket Microscope LED Light Handheld Small Lightweight Kid Microscope with Storage Bag

Mini Microscope comes with a protective case, a screwdriver to change batteries, and several slides to view. Microscope worked perfectly and it was really fun to view the slides and also other items like leaves or hair. This would be a great gift for approximately 7 years and up depending on maturity.

This mini micro is amazing. I was looking for something affordable since my child is homeschooled and enjoys science. The mini micro came with 5 slides which were so much fun to look at. We also looked at salt, material and our skin. My explorer can not wait to use it outside. The picture doesnt do it justice. The mini Micro is so clear in real life. Best thing I have purchased in a while.

when We adjusted it for Him He was excited to see the colors shapes and the details the sugar crystals blew His mind Thanks We Highly recommend

Love the size and it comes with case, slides and a cloth to mioe the lens.

Very pleased with this. However, like a regular microscope it can be a bit difficult to focus and get your specimen directly under the scope, does require some patience! I pretty much expected that. I gave it 5 stars because: 1. Once you get it focused, it is absolutely crystal clear. I got the focus and the zoom mixed up at first, the focus is near the bottom, zoom is near the top. A little practice makes perfect! 2. Uses 1 AAA battery (does not come with it). The compartment has a screw you need to remove, but a small screwdriver actually comes with it, and it was not difficult to open it. 3. Light is very bright. 4. It comes with 5 slides with specimens on them, which is nice for children, but no empty slides. However, I discovered it is much easier to see your own specimen and get it focused and directly under the scope if it is on the slide, and if it's one you don't want to keep you can simply set it on the slide to the side of the specimen it came with and view it that way. Otherwise, you might want to buy empty slides. 5. Zoom is as it says 60X - 120X and works well. 6. Could be difficult for a child to use for unless their specimen is something big enough so that getting the scope directly over it is not a challenge. 7. Seems sturdy. Comes with easy instructions, a bag to carry it in, and a cleaning cloth.

great for kids

the pre-made slides that come with this little microscope kit are interestingly gross - honey bee legs, mouse tail, fly mouth parts... these slides are real glass. There are no blank slides, so when you want to look at other things you just have to put the microscope up to it - it shows you in the directions what to do. Slides and microscope come in a cute small zip up case. In the case is even a mini screwdriver so you can unscrew the little section where the battery goes.

Lightweight, portable, and fun! The LED light makes exploring tiny objects easy, making it a great STEM gift for curious kids

Good microscope. Didn't find it much use for anything but slides though, have to stay still and get it just right/flat surface to see anything. I suppose any microscope with good magnification might be that way. A good magnifying glass is better for exploring the outdoors I think.

micrscope worked well. it was the slides that were the problem. they came chipped and pieces of glass shards falling out of case. so disappointed as my kids wanted to use them but cant.
