Disappointing by Heidi (Durango, CO) 2 Stars
April 12, 2009
I was very disappointed in the quality of this microscope. I expected more from Celestron. I bought this for my son's 6th birthday and chose this one for the digital camera. I thought it would be easier for both of us to view the slides on the computer. The quality of the digital image is poor at best and makes the camera worthless. I wasn't expecting HD images but I was expecting to be able to actually see what was on the side. The scope is entirely plastic with so much light filtering through the plastic tube up to the eye piece that the image is distorted. The images viewed directly though the microscope aren't too bad but if that is all you're looking for put your money in a better scope without the camera. I packed it up, sent it back and bought just that.

Looks fine, not yet tried, no need, waiting for occasion when needed for great-grandson's school work.

Great for the price by Julio P 5 Stars

This bad boy was pretty cheap as far as microscopes go but it lets you see well beyond what you can with the naked eye quite well. Older kids will be able to handle looking through the scope but little ones will have trouble. The best part for that is the camera. The camera takes pictures or video when you hook it up to a computer and the process is simple. The light is a little hot for anything in water so take care to use the pen light that shines from above when possible at least until you find what you are looking for. Also, there is no guard in place to prevent you from cracking a slide by focusing in too far so always pay attention if you're not already familiar with microscopes.

Great learning tool by Irene Shumaker (Phoenix, Az.) 4 Stars

I purchased this for my grandson for Christmas. He loves it a lot...He keeps going around the house to find things he can use ...I just wish I had an option to purchase more slides.. I looked but found no one that sold them. Highly recomend this.

Not worth even a penny of money paid by Chief WR (Pennsylvania, USA) 1 Stars

I purchased this item for my son as a Christmas gift and found it to be a complete waste of money and time, and a lot of frustration. Product, due to being of plastic, is not of a good quality. Working with optics is like playing with a fresh egg. Yeap! The worst part is a digital camera and its software. After the installation of it according to the instructions it caused the computer to crash. I tried another computer with a recomended operating system and... no communication with a device and crashing again. Well, in spite of my dilligent efforts to have it make to work I have gotten nowhere with it. I won't even mention my boys' heartbroken feelings...
