Review on ๐ŸŒฟ Exploring Nature's Wonders: Learning Resources Prepared Slides Specimens by Johnny Pigao

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent specimens!

I was pleasantly surprised by this specimen, especially after reading some of the reviews. The pattern is well made, not dusty, well packaged and beautifully labeled. I've found that some people don't care about some slides. I found them all incredible! All the hair clips look different, not like someone wrote in their review. If you have a dual microscope (I have a My First Lab Duo-Scope - love it!) that allows you to view slides with light from above and below, you'll notice clear differences in detail. Looking at slides with backlighting from below, some appear boring. But when you use light from above the slides, the detail is amazing. My husband and I reviewed all the slides in front of the kids and loved it! Even the hair samples looked amazing. We especially liked the anthill, what a detail! I think the differences from what other reviewers have seen are due to the microscope used. The 48 samples are supplied in two boxes of 6 slides each in 6 different categories. Each slide contains 4 samples. The slides for the first box are as follows: 1) Pollen and Spores - Lily Pollen, Sunflower Pollen, Bottle Brush Spore, Fern Spore 2) Tiny Creature - Aphid, Fruit Fly, Shrimp Egg, Silkworm Larva (Moth) 3) Textile Fibers - Hemp Fiber, Silk Cloth, Cotton Fiber, Bemberg 4 ) Insects - Butterfly Leg, Butterfly Wing, Grasshopper Wing, Honeybee Leg 5) Plants - Pine Forest, Part Camellia Leaf, Bamboo Shoot, Sponge Gourd 6) Animals - Goldfish Scales, Rabbit Wool, Camel Wool Feather Bird Point The slides for the second box are as follows: 1) Pollen and Spores - Tulip Pollen, Leaf spores, pine pollen, orange pollen 2) Small creatures - common red sponge, angora rabbit fur, ant, mouse fur 3) Textile fibers - panya, nylon, wool, handmade paper 4) Insects - dragonfly wings, worker bee wings, bee antenna, bee belly 5) Plants - corn stalks, nerium leaves, onion skins , shed wool with ribbed berries6) Animals - cat hair, canary f eder, dog hair, sheep hair All samples for each blood type are color coded. I am very happy with my purchase.
