Customer Review: Fantastic product - great learning tool, great value!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an unbeliveable value for anyone looking to buy a child something more than a video game. My two children (7 & 9) have been having a ball with the microscope and exploring things and examining them up to 200X magnification! The software is fun for kids and adults. My daughter and son have taken digital pictures, and movies of items they collected with it. The software install and microscope set up is a breeze. The software is easy and fun to use. I would advise common sense when allowing young children to use the microscope. The microscope does require some limited supervision from an adult, simply to assist them if they have any trouble, or to guide the activity. Besides, Would you really want to leave a 7 & 9 year old unattended with their insects and other discoveries by your computer? Bottom line this is a wonderful product and it is being sold at a bargain price. You can spend your money on another mindless game for a child, or try something different and and assist them in exploring the micro world around them. Both my kids and I have enjoyed it and are looking forward to doing more things with it this summer as they explore our creek and woods.
This microscope can create digital images and movies that can be imported into Powerpoints, Word documents and other productivity software. It supports inquiry and inspires questions to lead to further exploration. It is also just plain fun!
