Learning Resources Primary Science Viewscope

Learning Resources Primary Science Viewscope

Q: Is this significantly different than getting your child a magnifying glass?

I feel it is. There is a level of patience required in the set up & focus, that is not necessary when a magnifying glass is used. This also comes with sample filled slides, just as they will see someday in a classroom. Personally, I have given both to my grandson, and he uses them in different ways.

Q: Does this come with sample slides? I see one of the answers references this, but it's not in the product description.

It does not come with slides. It does have a Petrie dish to put a sample in.

Excellent microscope

Exactly as pictured. Sturdy and easy to use. Good magnification and will hopefully keep my 4 year old occupied for a long time.

Fantastic

This is an ideal microscope for a young child as it's so simple to use...my 3 yo loves it...I would suggest that may be too basic for an older child though.

Bug scope

This bug scope is a simple scope to use. It has a single eyepiece which is slightly difficult for a child (my grandson is 7).The shame is that it doesn't have a light source so some things are difficult to view.Good fun all the same and very light weight so portable for the garden!

Not the best

The glass came smeared internally, the unit itself is robust.

Lovely durable microscope. Great present idea.

Great microscope for 3- 6 year olds. We've enjoyed looking at spiders, moths, magic sand, shells....really gets the kids (and the parents) interested in the world around them

Rubbish

Nice idea, I thought this looked great, but it just doesn’t work. You can just about see things through it if you use as a microscope. If you take it off the base it’s useless. I couldn’t get it to focus on anything.

My great grand daughter and I have had great fun looking ...

Viewscope is fabulous, My great grand daughter and I have had great fun looking close-up at green fly, insect eggs, leaves and flowers. Magnification is very good and the scope is easy for a small child to manage.

Muy lindo

Me gustó el modelo, está muy bonito, material super resistente. Mi niño tiene 3 años, le gustó mucho, solo que como que lo agarra muy rudo y le cuesta trabajo utilizarlo, se recarga en el y pues se despega el lente de la base, pero es porque el no mide su fuerza, no es tan cuidadoso aún.Lo recomiendo para un bebe un poco mas grande de 3 años o para jugar, porque realmente no he logrado que enfoque bien y vea bien las muestras con el.Me costó trabajo enfocar el lente.

Works great

I bought this to put on a preschool science centre. I don't really like how the microscope can come on or off. That would be great if we needed to take it outside but for what we used it for it just encouraged the kids to mess around with it LOL. This company also makes one where the microscope can't be removed and that one worked better for what we were using it for. However, they are both well-made and stand up to lots of use from lots of different kids everyday.

Segunda compra

Había comprado este microscopio para mi sobrino que vive en Canadá el año pasado y le ha encantado. Lo pedi para mi niña para Navidad. Me gusta pero tiene tendencia a bajarse sola la parte azul de arriba que sirve para ajustar la vista. No se si es un defecto o si es así... Voy a preguntar a mi sobrino en Canadá...
