User Ratings and Reviews

4 Stars Good first slides for inquisitive youth.
I purchased this group of slides along with a microscope for my grandson for Christmas. He is very inquisitive and this has sparked his creativity to make slides of his own. He enjoys this gift and includes his younger siblings in his discoveries.

5 Stars Prepared slides
My son really likes these. It’s cool to see normal everyday things under the microscope. It’s nice that these are already prepared, ready to look at.

3 Stars You get what you pay for
48 specimens for less than $[...] bucks. That’s less than 50 cents a specimen. I wasn’t expecting a lot for my money and I didn’t get a lot either. There’s a reason why these slides are in the “toy” section. They’re good enough, for the price, but certain not high quality. The better your microscope (both top and bottom illumination is really necessary for the insect specimens), the better your experience.

1 Star Inferior product
The inferior quality of the mounting and preparation of the slides made these almost useless with a microscope.

These seemed like they were hastily prepared and never inspected. The educational value is questionable and likely to frustrate any student that uses them.

5 Stars great slides
This is a great collection of slides. My daughter got a microscope for her 8th birthday and she used her money to buy these slides and they are a great well rounded collection. She has really enjoyed them.

3 Stars Faulty description of prepared slides
This description says there are 48 prepared slides, but there are only 24.

Not good! And not up to your standards.

4 Stars Great fun for my 7 year old!
These slides have been thoroughly enjoyed by my 7 yr old son. He received a microscope for Christmas along with these slides, and he is still having a blast studying them now (2 months later)! The variety of specimens is plenty to keep a child this age entertained for quite a while. Great quality too!
