Vivitar VIV-MIC Reviews

Plastic fragile and no precision

I bught this thinking it would be better than a toy microscope for my kid. I was not, now I am back to Brasil with a microscope that fells and works like something made with bad quality parts. It seem to be an 80's project that was worsened with bad plastic. It was very cheap but the attendant said it would be ok for a kid, I would prefer paying double that on the other option and have a working instrument.
