Great gift idea for kids and I even used it a lot too. I was surprised how much my nephew liked the one I got him because all he does is play video games but he really enjoyed the pocket microscope. It broke but I had it about a year I guess and it was probably just a bad bulb. They are not expensive and they are different than the usual toys kids play with.

I agree with most here, including the person who indicated it's better than a toy. Seriously, it's really a pretty nice piece of gear, does a GREAT job of 30x, the illumination is VERY bright and adjustable, making the subject you're looking at exceptionally clear. For the money this can't be beat if it's what you're looking for. I may buy another at this price because I am really impressed with the usability. Yeah, it's Chinese, and yeah, it's plastic, but it's solid, and the clarity is really way above what I expected. Worth every penny!

I guess you get what you pay for. This is probably the best you can get for this price range. Still, everything sort of looks the same under the microscope. My son has fun with it, though. He especially likes looking at sugar which I agree is the most fascinating thing we have looked at so far. Keep in mind that this is a toy and don't expect more than you pay for.
