Summary: Hours of entertainment!
Comment: I bought this for my daughter's eighth birthday. She asked for a microscope and after reading reviews, I chose this one. So far, we have really enjoyed it! It's easy to use, and works well. My daughter loves it! She's been looking for things to view EVERYWHERE and her friends even ask to play with it when they come to visit. Definitely worth the price! We bought an extra set of prepared slides, but you wouldn't need that, because you can have more fun finding things yourself! As far as durability, there is a degree of "carefulness" you have to teach, but completely appropriate for my 8-year-old.

Summary: Great Scope!
Comment: I bought my 8 year old a science kit for his birthday and the microscope that came with it was very disappointing. After a lot of searching on the web, I found this one which was in my price range and had great reviews. My son and I have had so much fun looking at slides and solid objects under the lens. It reminds me of the kind of microscopes I used in high school biology. On the highest setting, it's hard to focus, but the 2 lower settings are so great, you hardly need the highest magnification. I know he'll be using this scope for many years, yet it's simple enough for him to enjoy now as well.

Summary: Great for your little scientist
Comment: This microscope is great for the budding scientist. It is relatively durable & lightweight. Our family has used it to look at everything from hairs to bugs. It comes with everything you need to get started quickly - specimens, slides, tools. Its easy to set up, in fact you can use it right out of the box. My children love this toy and I have to admit it takes me back to my own love of science.

Summary: gift for 9 year old daughter
Comment: I got this microscope as a gift for my 9 year old daughter. so far, it has been great. She loves it. It came with some sample slides to get her started as well as some blank slides so she can look at her own things. She is having a lot of fun with it. It is definitely a good starter microscope for a child who is interested in science.

Summary: Great choice for 12 year old son
Comment: My son is a bit of a science nut--and he loved this gift! He got one of the "microscope kits" (900x) when he was 9, but the focus and quality were both lacking. The kit came with all kinds of slides and accessories, but that microscope was frustrating. However, my son does not usually take good care of things and so I was hesitant to buy an expensive microscope. This Duo-Scope seems like a good compromise, as the quality is good enough that he can actually use it with success but it was inexpensive enough that I don't worry he might harm it. [It does not come with a lot of "bells and whistles" but it did come with a few prepared slides and a dust cover. I hate the fitted case his other microscope came in but I know it isn't safe in his room with just a cover, so we found a plastic tub that fits his microscope and related items.] Our son can see well through the lens and has looked at both larger items and small items. He wanted a 900x microscope but has agreed that this is much more satisfying than his old one, which has the higher power. He also received a gift of school quality prepared slides and has had a great time looking at them through this microscope. My only concern is that this doesn't look super durable--only time will tell. In the meantime, I'm a satisfied customer and my son is a happy scientist in the making!
