Product Pros
This is a fun science learning aid. It gives young kids a chance to look at things up close and learn the basics of magnification. It is easy to hold and manipulate. My daughter magnified everything she could bring to the table. I like how it sparked a bigger interest in science in her.
Product Cons
It is difficult to hold the microscope steady, turn the capture on and off all at the same time. I would like to have a stand to hold it up for looking at bigger objects.
Product in Use
I think this microscope will get a lot of use in my house. My daughter has been looking at bugs, food, money and whatever is in arm’s reach. The focus is very simple to adjust. The on screen display provides instant gratification. Photos can be taken with the push of the black button on top.
