The slides are supplied in a nice wooden case with a sheet of paper listing each slide and the slot number it is located in the case. The slides all had fingerprints or dirt on them but a quick wipe and they were easily cleaned. The range of subjects covered is nice and most of the slides are well prepared. Quality of stain was good and some of the slides I have viewed so far were really outstanding ( Housefly Compound Eye,Human Spermatozoa, Rabbit Testis). A few slides are of very small objects and it was difficult to locate them as there weren't many on the side. I got a set of 5 slides with my Celestron microscope and I can't help but feel that the Celestron slides are better quality. Overall the value for money with the AmScope set cannot be beaten. I will be buying their other sets in future. You should probably check what objects are included in each set so that when you add to your collection you minimise the number of duplicated slides. My kids are inspired by this kit.

Best Deals for AmScope 100 Piece Assorted Specimen Collection for Home School

I had bought my daughter an Amscope 40x to 2000x microscope for her 7th birthday and wanted her to have a collection of prepared slides to start her in the world of microscopy. I don't have much experience with microscopes, but this prepared slide collection seemed to offer a good selection of plant and animal specimens. I gave four stars instead of five because some of the slides didn't seem to have anything on them. But, I don't know if that was because there was nothing on them, or if I didn't know what I was looking for. Also, the top of the box was not clearly marked, so when my daughter first opened it, the slides fell out of all their slots and it took me a while to sort them out again. None-the-less, I would recommend this slide collection to anyone who might be getting their first microscope or who might be giving a microscope as a gift. It's a great way to get started. Then, buy a slide making kit and start making your own slides (Amazon sells a kit that comes with a good introductory book on microscopy that can serve as a guide for preparing slides).

I was amazed at the things prepared on these slides. Bee's knees, wings and rabbit testies. It is a great value as well. My grandson has spent hours or hours looking at these slides.

First off I should state that I am a pre-med student taking pre-requisites for medical school and I purchased this set to become more familiar with histology (the study of tissue) particularily in mammals for my Human Anatomy and Physiology class. I have a standard binocular microscope with an oil imersion lens. For the money I found these slides to be very well prepared and comparable to the slides my college bio lab had.

Some of the samples are a little bit thick but you would have to spend 3 to 4 times the amont of money for better preparations. If you are a pre-med student or biology major this is a great set to work off of.

Some of the fixatives and dyes are basic and you can't see absolutely everything but you can see most major tissue landmarks and structures. This set has over 22 slides of mammal tissue from a wide range of locations so there is a lot to look at and study. Most of the samples are from a dog or rabbit but there are a few human samples.

Mine came very nicely packaged and undamaged. Easy to store and clean. I would definately purchase another AmScope set based on this one.
