It's certainly not a professional-quality microscope, but it's not intended to be. It's a toy and a pretty good one. It's small, light, and will fit a child's hand well, and is simple to use. It comes with a mini SD card installed, a USB C cord for charging and connecting to a computer, and several microscopic slides containing such things as dandelion fuzz and goldfish scales.

It has built-in LED lights to light up whatever you're looking at and the brightness level is adjustable. Magnification is 100X to 1000X and there is a conveniently located focus wheel. It even functions as a camera and a telescope, which is fun.

The viewing screen flips out from the side. The screen is tiny, but, with a little fiddling with the focus wheel, the image is relatively clear. Images can be saved as either photos or videos or watched live on the screen or on a computer screen when attached via the USB cord.

The unit is plastic, and although it seems sturdy enough I doubt if it would survive a drop onto a hard surface. There is a hand strap on the side to help prevent drops and steady the unit.

Overall, it's a good child's toy with some cool features and most kids interested in studying the natural world should be fascinated with it.
