AmScope M30-ABS-KT2 52-Piece STEM Microscope Kit for Kids, Black

Grandson absolutely loves it. So glad I chose this item and company. Base was cracked, was immediately replaced within days. Nothing but all around praise for product and customer service.

My grandson loved this! Lots of stuff inside and the carrying case makes it really nice

This set looked like a professional set. Very good quality

Got this for a four year old while it was on sale for $20. The average price of this item seems to hover around $40 and for that amount I think you could look elsewhere. The scope itself is all plastic, the LED light mechanism is pretty flimsy, and the focusing the scope, while not impossible, isn't the easiest and if a toddler is using it they may need help since some of the slides take some exact dialing to see. Overall, if you can find this for $20 and it's for a child whose just looking for some fun then this kit will work great as you don't care what they do to the device. If this kit is supposed to goto a kid whose taking a topic seriously where they need a real microscope then you'd help yourself by buying a much nicer scope.

This is a first time microscope for my 8 year old. She loves it and is fascinated by it. It came with some beginner items like slides, petri dish, scalpel, etc. to spark their interest. However the tweezers are huge, plastic and useless for small items. The microscope magnifies pretty well but it's hard to get things to magnify at the 1200X. Also, we tried to hatch the brine shrimp and they didn't hatch. We think the eggs may have been too old. The booklet says they won't hatch if over 5 years old. Oh well. We still have had plenty of fun checking out leaves and such. I can see that we will have to buy a better one in a year or 2 as my daughter gets older. For the price this works for now just fine.

Bought this for my nephew and he LOVES it! It has so many pieces and gadgets that he can use to make his own slides it seems like he is always finding stuff to look at with his microscope. Great product for a great price!

He loved this kit

I wish there had been more reviews before I purchased this (I now see there is one). This is supposed to be a Christmas gift for my gifted child who is 9 and very into micro-organisms. The miscellaneous items that are in this case are very cheap looking and feeling. The microscope itself is a joke. The description said metal, so I was expecting a well made heavy metal microscope. The microscope is half plastic/half metal, when picked up it feels very light. Additionally, the size is very small, almost a toy size that my 4 year old would enjoy. I imagined it would be slightly smaller than the one I used in junior high, but heavy and well made. Things to consider: 1) Says for 8 and up: Maybe the chemicals are for 8 and up, the actual size of the microscope is very small...maybe 12"...no joke, it is that small. 2) Light/Mirror on microscope is cheaply made 3) Plastic-y feel. Looks cheap, feels cheap. 4) Accessories in the box feel and look cheap as well. 5) The 300X-600X-1200X dial is plastic If you are looking for a microscope for a child that would actually appreciate something serious, this is not what you are looking for. Keep looking. This would be excellent for a very young child (minus the chemicals) as a beginner microscope, more for a 4-5 year old. I am honestly unsure of what to do at this point, it is so close to Christmas, but I have a child that will likely be insulted by its inadequacy and take it as a personal insult on her ability. I have also ordered the 100 slide set from AmScope, I hope it is not a complete loss as well. Very Very Disappointed! The microscope says its original price is $99.96, if this is true individuals are being robbed of quality. I have been an Amazon customer for many years, I am deeply disappointed in this product.

Excellente initiation à la biologie

- Delivered on time and easy to set-up - First time with 8 year old and starter guide/prepared stills were easy to follow and stoke excitement levels - Only 4 prepared slides (we separately purchased a set of 20+ prepared slide) - Some general advice given on future experimenting, but suggest complimenting this set with a book of experiments for young minds

Cela est instructif pour les enfants.
