Review: A must have for kids. - These are so fun! I think I play with them more than my daughter lol It has sooo many things to look at. There is hours of microscope fun in these. All kids should have these and microscopes in their rooms! Would be perfect for homeschooling or teachers looking to supplement their teachings, or just a curious kid. Give them something awesome to look at and do. They get to see things from a whole new perspective. It always has my daughter asking tons of questions when she brings hem out. He always amazed at every slide. Shes 11. They are all numbered and labeled so you can put them back in the right slots and know what you are looking at. My daughter spilled her case in he floor and nothing broke and it only took up a few minutes to get it all organized again. The case is really nice and sturdy, very nice quality all the way around! I love the variety of everything in this kit. Hoping to get another set of slides soon!
Review: I was impressed! - I was very impressed with the product when it arrived. The wood box was not made of the finest hardwoods, but was nice. Although well packed, the slides shifted in shipping due to the softer balsa wood used to separate the 2 rows of 50 slides. This shifting made removing many of the slides difficult because they wedged themselves in very tightly. With a little patience, I gentle removed the shifted slides and the center rail popped back into the center allowing the all of the slides to be properly set. The slides are all labeled and comes with a sheet of paper with all of the slides in the kit and their position in the case. If I might make a suggestion to the manufacture....If you also labeled the slides by kit letter and position number, it would make it easier to find the slides. For example. I purchase set A so the label might also indicate A23 which would mean Set A slide 23. This would make it a lot easier to find and replace the slides. The slides themselves seem high quality and quite beautiful. There is a wide variety of subjects. You will not be disappointed in purchasing this product. I do plan on purchasing additional kits in the future.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well prepared for my use and very happy with them.
*by W***B on June 27, 2017*

I have seen a decent amount of negative reviews and i don't think they are warranted. I received 99 of the 100 slides. One missing, but no big deal for me, i am using these with a 6 yr old and 3 yr old and a recent microscope purchase. I am using a mid priced stereo microscope in the 150 dollar range. With this I have had no problem viewing any of these slides. Not being a biology major, i can say that i believe the slides are all of good quality and well prepared for my level of use. I think they would be of use to more advanced persons also. I have looked at about 30 of the slides. In all cases there is one of the sample items located at or very near the center of the coverslip. You may need to search a little for the smaller items. In short, the paramecium slide has 4 paramecium set in the center, each stained differently, red, green, and a brown making it easier to see different parts. The insect, daphnia, hydra, and penicillin were all easy for me to examine under various magnification and clearly visible. Earthworm is a section cut through the middle of a worm, stained and internal parts are identifiable. The storage box is wood, unfinished, well enough made for storage. Minimal padding but fine, as long as you don't drop it.
