Very good scope for family and school use. It is well made, sturdy, with good optics. The prepared slides are fair, nothing special, but the rest of the package is quite handy. I am satisfied with my purchase.

Got this for my son and he loves it, heck we love it! Very professional, not dinky and cheap felling. Great quality. All the parts and pieces were there. Very happy with this one!

It seems like a decent microscope. This model, M150C, was recommended in our homeschool curriculum, and as I also needed slides and methylene blue, it seemed like this kit would be the best value. The instructions say to check the tightness of the objective lenses which I did, everything was snug, but it said nothing about the eyepiece. There was a wire piece that sort of cut into the view, I wasn't sure if it was necessary or if it was something to hold the lenses more secure in shipping. But, that's not an issue for us now. When my daughter swapped the 10x eyepiece for the 25x eyepiece part of it fell back into the body tube and the wire and one of the lenses ended up on the floor. I finally figured out how to put it back together, (minus the wire as it wasn't found for a few days) but one or both of the lenses in the 10x eyepiece have scratches or small chips that show up when trying to look at slides. The 25x eyepiece works with the premade slides but, seems to be pointless for slides that we've made. You can probably tell from the photo that the cover slides are square. This seems strange to me, as when I was younger, we used another slide as a cover slide so we could seal together the two pieces. We'd label one of the sides where the slides were taped together. I had thought about possibly buying a case for the slides my daughter made, but this would be pointless as the cover would fall off when being put on their side so, for now, we just stack the slides. Not the greatest way to care for slides, but it seems to be our only option. The methylene blue is a little rock in a bottle that needs to have water added to it. There were no instructions on how much water to add, so I just added as much water as I could without squirting all the blue back out, (the bottle's top doesn't come off so you have to squeeze the bottle underwater.)

Eight year old and five year old grandsons and I spent a couple hours the first day. puddle water was fun. Get them interested in science. It's a quality product, worth every penny.

I found it very easy to use as a parent who took a couple community college classes last year that required microscopy. If I had no experience at all it might have been more difficult, but that minimal experience was enough for this microscope to be easily usable. There was one mis-assembled piece, but customer service through amazon was great, and I have also since ordered additional pieces through amscope directly, very easy transactions.

I was able to see bacteria cells decently well. Eukaryotic cells are very visable.
