Product ReviewsAMSCOPE 48pc Starter 120x-1200x Compound Microscope Science Kit for Kids (White)

great for kids

I wanted it to help my grandchildren experience different areas of science. It was very hard for them to work the focusing and see the slides. Wish it wasn't as powerful so they could enjoy the slides. for the price and good value.Read full review...

Buy used school surplus

Did I get a lemon? Doesn’t focus well. Poor quality. Moving parts are loose. Mostly plastic.
Bought college surplus for same price to keep child’s interest. Huge difference!
I would not buy from a manufacturer who would represent this as a working microscope.Read full review...

Unsatisfactory

I have tried to focus the microscope - can not see anything thru it - have tried the slides with items on them and can not see anything. I purchased it for my grandson birthday. He was very disappointed. I have read complete thru the instructions & still bad purchase -DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY !!!Read full review...

Microscope

This is a wonderful microscope set. It is great quality.
I recommend this with 5 amazing smiles ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Very good for the price.

I wasn't quite sure what we were going to get for the price but I have been pleased at the details we have been able to see so far. I think this is a great starter microscope for homeschooling, kids who love science, or an inexpensive option for a personal microscope in your dorm room.Read full review...

REVIEW

Turned out to be cheaper in quality than hoped. So far, it works with minor attention to detail.

Ad said it was made of metal. Most parts are plastic, the view through the eyepiece is full of something in view. Don't waste your money.

This will surely turn off childern on scinece due to the poor qualty of the view.

AmScope review

Works for what I want. The plastic accessories won't work for me but all I wanted is the microscope.
