 just "fair" you get what you pay forApr 11, 2011

Some of the slides are "good". Others are difficult to see. My son has a one hundred dollar microscope, so you think it would be sufficient to view the slides. We weren't very happy overall with the purchase.

Well done, great valueOct 17, 2011
By Mark Alsip
This is one of several slide sets I purchased for my 8 year old niece. We've had a blast with it. Having multiple samples per slide is a nice feature & provides enough variety that she hasn't gotten bored with the selection, or finished it off and discarded after a few minutes.
 Great Slides!Jan 22, 2012
By Hod
Got this as a present for a 6 year old. It's great looking at all the cool things this slide kit comes with. And for the price you can't beat it!
 Just OK - look for something better first....Jan 09, 2012

The other reviews about this being "just okay" are pretty accurate. However, an additional issue to consider is that there are 3 objects per slide, equally spaced across the slide. Depending on how far your slide frame/adjuster goes from side to side, you may end up having to not use it and instead put the slides in vertically (vs. the more "standard" horizontally on the base) in order to center the viewing circle under the viewing scope area. While this works okay, it doesn't allow find movement of the slide using the controls, nor does it secure the slide to prevent it moving out of place if having multiple viewers look at the object being studied.
So overall, kind of boring things to look at and due to spacing of 3 objects per slide, your slide frame may not adjust far enough side to side to view the outer objects w/o modifying your slide placement.
A nice starter set of slides for a microscopeDec 23, 2011
By Anthony
I bought these to go with my 5-yr-old's first microscope, and they were fine for a starter set. It comes with a nice assortment of slides that we've had fun looking at multiple times so far. If you're trying to get your little ones interested in the micro world around them, this is a good start.
