User Submitted My First Lab Duo-Scope Microscope Reviews (cont...)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!!! 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.
