Great microscope for the price

(5 out of 5) by T. Compian on Oct 7, 2007 (Colorado Springs, CO United States)
I have tried out a few other microscopes in the same price range (as I cannot afford a professional one and I need one for homeschooling) and this one is by far the best. Other ones I couldn't get to focus no matter what I did or how many hours I tried, but this one could focus right away. I would definitely recommend this one if you need to stay around this price range.

Galileo 1200x Power Microscope - No Good

(1 out of 5) by J. Tubb on Nov 6, 2009
Poor product, fuzzy, blurry optics, Amazon had this item listed for $49 new but when other vendors advertize this item, the price goes up to $119. Don't waste your money, go to another brand, anything but this particular product.

Microscope

Microscope is pretty cool, but it came with a piece and no instructions on how to use it. it's good for a starter microscope for kids.

Better than I anticipated!

I bought this for my daughter as a birthday gift. She absolutely loved it! It came with more than I thought it would. I give this item an A+++!

This Microscope was Xmas present for my son, 10. He was just happy to got it and did installation by himself. He completed every experiments from manual. :) Even make growing up small shrimps. That was interesting even for me. Better to see if you put a sun beam to reflect mirror or you can use installed lamp with batteries. For 10 years old boy - good choice
