User Submitted My First Lab Duo-Scope Microscope Reviews (cont...)Date: 2008-01-09 Great first microscope Great value! I bought this for my 6 year old son. He loves it! My husband was quite impressed with the quality of the optics. The low cost is such a bonus! It is plastic, which is good from a weight perspective when my son is handling, I just wonder how durable it is. Only time will tell. I highly recommended this product! Date: 2008-01-08 the best microscope This was given to an 8 year old as a christmas gift. She loves science and loves exploring her environment. The microscope is a nice quality. IT comes with a dust cover but no hard case. It's electronic and has a light bulb instead of a mirror which helps her a lot. It's not overly complicated but advanced enough to keep her entertained for a while. It does come with some not-so-child-friendly pieces that may need to be taken away from younger kids. She makes her own slides and loves looking at carpet fibers, gold flakes, grass, anything. She plays with this more than her video games and dolls. I recommend that you buy a microscope book for kids to go along with it. I used my old Biology book but she needs help with it. I also bought some additional slides to look at. I recommend this product for inquisititve kids and adults even. Date: 2008-01-08 Worth it My daughter who is 11 really likes it, we had to play with it for about 10 minutes just to see the slides, I dont know what was wrong but it wouldn't show anything but then all of a sudden you could view the slides. Date: 2008-01-05 Great present I bought this item for my 10 year old daughter who doesn't like toys. She was delighted with it and has spent many happy hours looking at different things and getting used to operating it properly. She is particularly happy with the dual lighting feature. We have not noticed any problems with the product at all. I ordered prepared slides along with it and they too have provided hours of fun (not to mention learning!) I highly recommend this product for any curious young person. Date: 2008-01-02 Best microscope for the money! This purchase was prompted when I made the mistake of buying another brand without reading reviews. I'm so happy with this microscope as it is of a much higher (much, much higher) quality than the other one I bought. Heavier, made of metal, with two different light sources, I tested it before giving my nephews another that didn't work and was very impressed (and entertained!) while using it to view the included slides and examine a knife blade and a napkin...two items that were sitting nearby while I tested it, lol. It was so cool to use the magnification features!! The ONLY thing that I don't like is that the eye-lens just "sits" inside the tube and if you aren't careful, it will fall out if the microscope is tipped at an angle while you carry it from place to place...a big problem for kids. A piece of scotch tape can prevent the glass lens from falling out, but it's one thing I hope the manufacturer will consider in the future. Great buy!!!
