Kids have fun

This set of slides offers a lot of variety, which is nice. They fit well and last a long time. However, they are not of high quality. They are great for learning how to use a microscope and getting started with science. This may not be what you are looking for if you are at the college level. For example, the slides I received from college almost certainly contained all the stages of mitosis. On the slides in this set, I noticed that not all steps are shown. When you're selling the number of slides they make at this cheap price point, you can't expect to see every slide previewed for this type of thing. My student slides cost three times as much and in some cases more. If you are learning to use a microscope and want to work with lots of interesting slides then this is a really good set. It would be very good for those who study at home. Learning hours can be found here. I believe there is already an overview listing all the slides included in the set, so I won't go into detail. The box is fine. It's strong enough. Not sure how it will hold up to a lot of travel/carrying around. At home, it is simply pushed from the shelf onto the table, so that it is hardly worn out. That's fine for our purposes. Do yourself a favor and start with a better microscope rather than more expensive slides. That's where you'll find that most of your frustrations lie. These slides will be suitable for most people. Enjoy!
