Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Meade Childrens 28 Peice Microscope Kit
Customer Review: Poor choice for a budding scientist
Summary: 1 Stars
You get what you pay for. This is a toy, not an instrument to encourage and/or teach a child about science. I'd categorize it with the toy doctor kits on the market. If your child is really interested in microscopy, then get something with decent optics(glass) and a bit more heft(metal). I'm really surprised that Meade, a leading optics manufacturer, endorses this product. It's the reason I bought it.
Customer Review: Poor Quality
Summary: 1 Stars
This item is of poor quality. The light source is poorly designed and does not operate in the described manner. The optics were poor and scratched. The included instruments were toys, not useful, especially the scaple which was dull and would not cut a specimen. I was very disappointed with the entire package..Customer Review: Very poorly made product
Summary: 1 Stars
I expected the microscope to be at least functional, but it wasn't. The light would not turn on when turning the mirror (yes, I did put in batteries and the light did work, but not the way it was supposed to). Very difficult to focus through the eyepiece.
I returned it.
Customer Review: Horrible!
Summary: 1 Stars
We bought this microscope as our son's first, and are utterly disappointed with it! The quality of the optics are extremely low, and are in fact so low as to render it useless. The light doesn't function at all. This item is barely useful as a prop/toy - don't waste your money.Customer Review: Horrible
Summary: 1 Stars
Horrible! Bought this for my daughter to help her interest grow and she is more frustrated (along with me) than anything. Terrible light / mirror - bulb goes off if you breathe on it wrong. Can't focus sharply on anything. Useless. Don't waste your money or time.
