    • Microscope for grandson
Got this for my grandson’s 7th birthday. He couldn’t wait to try it. We all were looking for stuff to look at. Great starter one for the price and will go for a more if he continues his interest in it. He is very scientifically driven!

    • Fantastic gift for your kid!
My 5-year-old son was thrilled when he saw his new microscope. The prepared slides are impressive and a particularly good start. Soon after, we bought more prepared slides. I'm still not convinced for choosing the binocular (two eyepieces) over the monocular, it is not very easy to find the correct distance between the lenses and see a clear image. However, I understand that in theory the binocular can show depth where monocular images are flat. The dual led (one below the image and one on top of it) is an advantage because you can use this microscope as both a compound and a stereo microscope. ... show more

    • Surprisingly clear lenses for an inexpensive microscope! Requires 2 AA batteries. Great beginner set!
The media could not be loaded. National Geographic Dual Microscope has surprisingly clear lens for an inexpensive microscope. The microscope has 10x and 25x lens that are easy to exchange. You simply pull to remove the lens and the next lens slides in. The distance between the two heads is adjustable, but this does not have a Diopter adjustment. You do have the Coarse Focus knob to adjust the distance from the specimen you're viewing. You have two different light sources, one from above your field of view and one below the stage that shines through the condenser lens (glass circular piece). The condenser lens comes out easily, so make sure to be careful when unboxing. Depending on what you are viewing the light source from below may still be too bright to see details. We found that if you take a small piece of wax paper and place under the glass piece it diffuses the light more and makes the specimen easier to see. There are many slides that come in a plastic case and most are already setup for viewing. (Examples: onion skin, fungi, earthworm cross section, etc.) The earthworm slide is one I would recommend diffusing more with the wax paper to see the individual layers of intestine and epidermis. This set also comes with a vile of Brine Shrimp eggs and a hatchery. The instructions to hatch the eggs are in the instruction manual. It's quite simple to make the saltwater using bottled water and salt without iodine. The eggs are supposed to hatch 24-48hrs later, but we were unable to see any hatch after waiting four full days. After research, there are many factors that could cause the eggs to not hatch, such as water was too cold, too many eggs, etc. You are instructed to place the hatchery in a window sill and it has been cold outside. With the shallow water for the eggs I fear the water may have gotten too cold. I will start the hatching process over very soon. The microscope is battery-operated and requires 2 AA batteries that are not included. Otherwise, this is a near complete starter kit for a teenager who is interested in science. I have a 7 and 6 yr old that enjoy looking through the microscope with our help. They love to find things when outside and bring in to get a closer look! Thanks for watching! ... show more

    • It is good at the 20X magnification
This little microscope would be great for beginners. The booklet that comes with it is mostly about viewing slides, but it really is better at the 20X magnification with top lighting for viewing solid objects. I put a stem of Coleus flowers under it, and I could see the pollen in the anthers and the pollen stuck to the stigma lobes. You can examine tiny flowers whole or parts of larger flowers. Small insects and leaf margins are other good specimens. I think it would work well for looking at algae and some pondwater organisms. It will not show you much detail on protozoa, but there could be a lot to see. NOTE: The directions give no warning that the diffuser glass at the base is not fastened down or that it needs to be placed with the frosted side down. There is no direction to remove the objective lenses before you turn it upside down to put in the batteries, but there should be. The objectives can fall out during this operation. To view slides, you need to change the objectives. This microscope is marginal for viewing slides mainly because its magnification is limited to 50X. The onion skin slide that comes with it was good, but the cells in many of the others are too small to see. Some of the slides have debris as well as the specimen, but they are much better than the pretend slides that come with toy microscopes. I compared the slides from this kit to my collection of slides purchased through a major educational supplier. All in all, it is quite worthwhile for use at the 20X magnification. It is plastic so it will have to be treated with care. ... show more

    • Easy for kids to use.
The bifocal microscopes are way easier for kids to use than those with just I one eye piece. Also this microscope is easy enough for younger kids to independently view everyday stuff, not just slides at 1000x.

    • Kids are happy. Nerd me is even happier.
Bought this in a desperate attempt to keep my kids entertained with something other than a screen during quarantine. Super glad I did. It’s not a professional-grade microscope, but it’s not a professional-grade price, either. Nerd me, who has used many a microscope in my career, loves the fact that you can use it as both a dissecting scope (10x) and slide scope (25x). Both modes work well. I gave my kids an “assignment” to find stuff outside and look at it under the dissecting mode and draw what they see- they had a blast. Great for elementary school age kids. ... show more

    • Very easy to explore the world
This is a great educational tool to help a child discover the world. My 8 year old grandson is learning so much about nature and the creatures who inhabit the universe. This was a very good purchase as he is enthralled with examining everything he can get under the microscope.
