\nLeaps and bounds ahead of cheap, plastic microscopes, this sturdy, heavy-duty microscope is very reasonably priced at $65.60. A scientific instrument like the ones used in high school labs, it produces clear, sharp magnifications of such materials like frog\u2019s blood, mosquito head parts, and human skin cells. The kit also includes forceps, prepared slides, blank slides, test tube, and a petri dish. You and your budding scientist can also buy blank slides and collect your own specimens to examine up close. Advertised for children 9 and up, it\u2019s really fine for any mature, careful child to enjoy provided there\u2019s an adult nearby to help. We were impressed by how easy it was to set up and operate the microscope.
