Good starter microscope
By Michael
Rated 3 out of 5

The microscope works well, has prepared slides and plenty of blank slides. The scalpel is dull. The battery-powered light stopped after a few minutes, and we discovered that the connector was faulty—had to use a paper clip to get it working again. The “manual” such as it is has very little information—you’re mostly on your own. My grandson is happy with it, though I’m a bit disappointed.
