We bought this for our granddaughter who is 3 years old, not quite old enough to work it. Truth is we're having lots of fun with it passing it around the dining room table for our guests to enjoy.

I bought these for my two sons - ages 7 and 5. They love them. They've zoomed in on bugs, their skin, and everything else in the house. Even the screen on our iphone. When they look at something it spurs discussion and they really enjoy learning about everything.

Bought two for my scattered grand children. I have a professional microscope but the kids just can't see. Think Thurber's funny story on microscopes. With this one they are enthralled with all the small things they can see; newspaper print, dust, onion skin. They want to look at everything. Plus, I am enjoying it too! The best money I've spent for a learning tool in a long time. Highly recommended.

I got this as a toy for my niece and I wasn't expecting to be able to see anything at all. We opened it and to my surprise you could actually see the intricacies of a leaf and other decently interesting stuff. Kudos Carson and OP.
