Brainstorm Toys E2014 Outdoor Adventure Microscope,

Pour un cadeau de Noël à un enfant qui aime explorer

Buena herramienta didáctica. Tres años funcionando, con un cambio de pila hace unos seis meses.

Mio figlio di 5 anni lo adora. funziona benissimo

I got this for my daughter when she was 3 or 4 after seeing it at a friend’s place and have since bought another one for a slightly older nephew as it’s so good. Everyone is surprised by how well it works - it is a really powerful microscope and we’ve had loads of fun looking at and learning about everything from the diodes on TV screens to the fibres of clothes to leaves and feathers. It often accompanies us on walks since it’s small and light. The only problem is that the clear round bit on the end falls off easily and can get lost. The microscope still works without it but it’s a little harder to hold in the right place (its function is to touch the surface so that the actual lens is a few millimetres away from the item being looked at and the light shines on the item). But otherwise it’s flawless - the light is important, the focus adjustment easy though rarely needed as it stays focused once set.

I bought four of these for school nature backpacks. We’ve had tabletop microscopes with poor or average resolution that were $50 or more. These have great resolution, are lightweight enough for young children, and the little button cell batteries (included) are covered with a screwed-on cover. We plan to order more. The value is great.
