Learning Resources GeoSafari MicroPro 95-Piece Microscope Set

I bought this microscope for one of my uni projects, as an art student I was hoping to get some interesting imagery through the lens as visual research, and that's exactly what I got. I'm no expert on microscope quality/pricing but I feel that this item is brilliant value for money. It is easy to use even for a beginner, just pop 2xAA batteries underneath (screwdriver required) to use the built in LED light to illuminate your slides, or if you're in bright enough light flip the LED over to use the mirror. Easy to focus - just choose your power setting (low/med/high but low power seems to be enough...) and turn to focus. 3 prepared slides are included - they're brilliant! There's also everything you could need.. blank slides, tweesers, petri dishes,vials etc. the only problem I have with this product is that I can't think of what to put under it next.. :)

For the price, it's a good starter microscope. There are a few sample slides, so we bought a pack containing loads (which was quite pricey, but ultimately worth it when we watched the kids checking out all the different things under the microscope).. we were then on the hunt for other things to try.. so we pulled out some hair.. and popped on some grains of sugar (pictured). It's been good to leave it around for the kids to come back to.The High magnification is pretty useless, but Low and Medium are good.. and reasonably easy for a 5yr old and 8yr old to get into focus (and generally, when an adult sets it, it's correct for nearly all the slides). The LED is very bright.. we use it with sunlight most of the time. I found that switching out the viewing lens to one that's less magnified (supplied in the box) is a bit better for seeing slightly less detail, but getting to see more of what you're looking at.

I bought it for my 10 year old granddaughter and she was able to use it immediately after referring to the instruction booklet including making her own slides.

I ordered this for my 8 year old grandson. We were very excited to begin using it, especially as I had ordered really good slides from a Science website. What we managed to observe was very disappointing. Whilst looking through the microscope (which feels cheap) I noted that my view was skewed by my own inner eye. What I mean by that is, as soon as you move your eye (whilst viewing) you can see your own veins etc through the scope! It's very odd and clouds the view of the slide. I think this is better suited for younger kids. My grandson loves science and this just isn't a good enough product for him to learn. The microscope and all the parts feel really cheap. I intend returning the product so I can buy a better one.

It does the job and is fun. Good for homeschooling younger but not great if doing gcse as need better kit and maginification.

My 9 year old son loves this, he found it easy to get focus on the slides and made his own slides grabbing things from rhe garden. Even I had fun!

Good for education, my days grown up, but still have it in her shelf!

Sorry to say that, but this product was not good for us. We had to refund it. Maybe it was just our faulty one.. but it's not working at all. Good selection of accessories and nice box included.

Lo compré para un regalo, pero su mamá me escribió diciendo que fue el mejor regalo que recibió que para todos lados trae su microscopio!!!!

Era para un regalo y le gustó mucho al niño. No puedo opinar más de su uso.

I bought this as a Xmas gift, it looks exactly what my child wanted. The price was right and delivery was excellent.

Keine DEUTSCHE Bedienungsanleitung!!

Ce n est qu'un jouet aucun intérêt, impossible d'observer quoi que ce soit
