Manage your expectations, but this is a blast.,
If they would have had this thing when I was a kid (a few decades back), I would have gone crazy with it. It is a TOY, not a real scientific instrument, but it’s the kind of toy that can good and truly make a kid fall in love with science. It turns the world into a puzzle–What would that thing look like if I were the size of an ant? It offers the ability to capture and share images, and compare them with each other. This little device is flawed–I wish it were a little bit easier to use, the instructions could be more comprehensive and easy to understand, and I’ve only had it for two days so I can’t vouch for its durability but suspect considerable care will be required to protect it–but for an 8- to 14-year-old child, this is a portal into interesting worlds, and a possible introduction to science and nature that could result in a lifelong appreciation of discovery. I don’t want to praise it too much or someone could order it and be disappointed that it’s not more than advertised, but I just want to get across the point that, limitations and all, I found the thing to be pretty delightful.

|Educational toy that leaves you dim,
The good..
once you get a resolution focused you can see light objects fairly well.
The bad…
Lighting is very poor. the very small leds make any darker material impossible to see.
Very hard to focus, need to turn the entire front of the housing, can’t do it “on the fly”
Changing magnification requires refocusing.
most kids will need assistance using this.
NEEDS BETTER LIGHTING, you also can not increase lighting with a flash light or anything, so it’s light material or nothing

|For the price, a really neat item,
I bought this for my 5-year-old granddaughter. It’s probably a little advanced for her age, but I think this will be a fun activity for her to pursue with Grandpa’s help.
Once it was focused in, anything that you place the surface of the “eye” against comes into clear focus. The white LEDs work best at lower magnification. One negative I can see is that it takes 5 AA batteries – this is an unusual number and will make it inconvenient to try to run it off of rechargeable batteries since you usually charge 2 or 4 at a time, not 5.
