I had ordered several other sets but had to return them because they were cheaply made or targeted for kids. This one had a decent quality of supplies for an adult who wants to do actual experiments as a hobby but it was still made on the cheaper side. After returning 5 kits I settled on this one because it was getting too close to Christmas. He enjoys it and has examined several things so it definitely does the job. Hope this helps! ## Features - 40-piece premium slide preparation kit including shrimp hatchery experiment - The kit includes 20 unique tools, stains, slides and more – 40 pieces in total - Includes both prepared and blank slides - Tools are safe and easy for children of all ages to use - Includes two types of stain needed to assist in viewing specimens ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B087WLVSQJ | | Age Range (Description) | Kid | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Best Sellers Rank | #236,585 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #6,154 in Science Toys & Kits | | Brand | AmScope | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 54 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Observation Skills, Life Science, Fine Motor Skills | | Included Components | 40-Piece Deluxe Microscope Slide Kit | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 16 x 15 x 3.8 Centimeters | | Item Weight | 0.01 Ounces | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 16 x 15 x 3.8 Centimeters | | Manufacturer | United Scope LLC | | Manufacturer Part Number | SP-18 | | Material | Plastic Paper | | Maximum Recommended age | 144 | | Model Number | SP-18 | | Size | 5.91 x 6.3 x 1.5 inches | | Theme | Biology | | UPC | 840979135811 | ## Images ![AmScope - IQCrew 40-Piece Deluxe Microscope Slide Preparation Kit - Essential Student Tool Kit w/Stains + Shrimp Hatchery Experiment - SP-18 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61vAqXjgqYL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice *by F***N on 12 March 2026* Nice addition to my exploration ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Meh… *by S***M on 17 May 2025* I bought this for my boyfriend to go with his microscope at Christmas.
