The microscope came very promptly, and as a retired biologist I amfavorably impressed by its quality. The light source and optics met or exceeded my expectations, and I am confident my grandson will be thrilled.
My only quibble is that the prepared slides in the extras kit were all zoological histology specimens, hardly the most exciting easiest or easiest to interpret material for a beginning microscopist. They kind of seemed like random leftovers from a vertebrate anatomy lab. Diatoms, forams, and well-stained plant root or stem cross-sections would have been much better choices.
