Review on TK2 Scope Biology and Durable Metal Microscope Set with Glass Optics by Thames & Kosmos - Includes 25 Experiments and 48 Page Lab Manual, High-Quality for Students and Professionals (636815) by Barb Parker

I am a scientist. You can imagine how picky I was when looking for a quality microscope for a child. Most entry-level microscopes on the market are of very poor quality. This product was exactly what I was looking for. It has optical lenses, a light switch that can be switched between light source above or below the sample, easy for a child to operate, and reasonable price. The clarity is amazing for a beginner. Don't hesitate - buy it! We collect samples in the backyard, forest, water of the pond, etc. and have a lot of fun learning.
