User Submitted My First Lab Duo-Scope Microscope Reviews (cont...)Date: 2007-12-31 terrific starter microscope I bought this for Christmas for my 7yo daughter. When I tested it before wrapping, one of the lights was out. I called the company directly and received the BEST service. They had a return shipping label emailed to me that day, I sent it out the same day, and they shipped a new one as soon as the old one was entered in tracking. Got it in plenty of time for Christmas. A note on the high power lens: most scopes require oil immersion for the high power, which is not included. I might try that on my own. A carrying case would be helpful. However this is a wonderful microscope at a great price backed by super service. Lightweight, durable, and no cord limits. Date: 2007-12-29 excellent choice for a first microscope When Ben (10 years old) opened this gift for Christmas, he was able to start enjoying it right away. It is simple to use and very durable. It is neat that there is a light on the top as well as the bottom so that opaque items can be seen up close as well. Within minutes Ben and his siblings were fascinated by checking out paper with print on it, hair, an onion peel, and more. My only suggestion might be to include more by way of prepared slides. However, it is also good for them to make their own and have their own ideas, too. Plus, the price was an absolutely fantastic value. Date: 2007-12-28 Great toy for the curious mind I bought this tool for my nephew and he loves it. As a science teacher, I was impressed with the quality of the microscope optics for a beginner scope. I would highly recommend for any 3rd-8th grader interested in science. Date: 2007-12-25 Great first scope I did a lot of searching for a microscope for my 7-year old daughter. I almost bought a USB scope but glad I didn't. I'm pretty impressed with this one. Focus is firm and very smooth. Optics are sound and the upper and lower lights make this very versatile. LED lights are easy on the batteries and no cord is needed to operate. The high power is not usable from above but this is stated in the manual. The slides and include equipment is a nice starter package. My 7-year old is THRILLED with it and I'm pleased with the value for $50. I'm sure we will get many hours of exploration with this scope! The only thing this scope is missing is a good carrying/storage case. The inclusion of that would make this a perfect item! Date: 2007-12-17 Educational & Fun! I bought this for my 9 year old son and he loves it. Doesn't work real well at the highest power, though. The lens is pretty much on the glass which makes what they're looking at blurry. Despite that, the kids have really enjoyed it.
