National Geographic Advanced Compound Microscope for Kids – Battery Powered 40X-1024X Zoom Microscope Including Science Kit - LED Illumination & USB Eyepiece Directly Connects to Computer

Honestly I wasn't expecting much from this microscope. As a college biology student, im spoiled on much higher quality microscopes in class, but I wanted something for home that I could do my own experiments with. For being a cheaper "kids" microscope, it does it's job. I would recommend it even for adults who just want to experiment. It is battery operated, so you will need to buy batteries for it. And to apply microscope images onto a laptop/computer you have to install software (a CD comes with the microscope). Unfortunately I don't have a CD drive on my laptop, but it's not a concern for me. Overall I'm really enjoying this microscope.

Light isn't super bright and slide covers are all broken. Can not use until I can get new covers, which is annoying.
