I purchased this microscope for my 7 year old son. I have 10+ years of experience working with microscopes and was unable to get an image with this unit. Quality is terrible, cheap plastic with horrific optics.

this microscope kit is a great value for your money. I bought it for my kid who's been asking for a microscope forever now, kept him busy for a few hours with all the different accessories. Would not be able to see bacteria, but for $20 what do you expect. It's a great gift for a young child who is starting to learn about small objects.

I was very disappointed. The quality and usability was poor. My 13, who was extremely excited walked away pretty bummed. The nobs are cheap and feel like they will break as you turn them to focus, and the light doesn't work after 2 minutes.

Cons:  Poor construction, lenses are dirty
Would recommend:  no

I got this microscope for $7 shipped, and I still regret buying it. It's complete garbage. The focus knob sticks so it's hard to turn. The lenses must be made out of plastic with visible deformities. When you look at an object through the microscope, it's hard to differentiate between the crud on the lens and the thing you're looking at. The whole thing weighs 8 ounces, and it's 99% plastic. I bought this as a gift for my six-year-old daughter, and I'm afraid that this microscope is so bad that it will actually turn her off science. I think I'll keep the accessories (which are nice), and donate the scope to Good Will.
