I ordered this for my 11-year-old daughter for Christmas and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the scope. I had read many poor reviews about other cheaper brands and was a little leary about purchasing this microscope since there weren't any reviews yet. But i'm happy to report that this microscope works fine. It has a metal contruction instead of plastic and has a light in addition to a mirror. We haven't mastered the mirror yet, so its pretty important to have a light source. Since this microscope didn't come with any slides (which is a minor drawback), I also ordered a slide kit. We have had no problems zooming in on the specimens. We start on the low setting first, and then rotate to the higher power lenses. Which works great. I thought that only having a 400 zoom might be limiting since others boast a 900, but we can see all details clearly. The built in stop prevents us from cracking the slide which is also a plus. We also like that the scope tilts so you can adjust it according to your viewing comfort. And the different color filters are fun.
All in all, we are very pleased with our purchase. My advice is to spend the extra money and buy this microscope.
