Toys and Games Reviews of My First Lab My First Lab Microscope
Customer Review: Very Fun!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I recieved this telescope for my Birthday, I was very excited!!!! When I began to use it, I wasn't disapointed at all!!This so called "toy" I very good for education and fun, it is also very durable.
Before I recieved this I got a cheap one from the "Toys R' Us". It claimed to be very high magnified, and to work well.
I tried it and was very disapointed, there was no metal and when you changed the slide, it didn't change the picture!!
I immediately returned it.
This microscope has worked perfectly. It has perfect focus, and some cool prepared slides. If you are looking for a fun, educational, affordable Microscope, This is for you. On this microscope, there is a ton of magnification and there is almost no plastic!!!
It is perfect for anyone 10+.
Customer Review: Decent first microscope
Summary: 4 Stars
We purchased this for my son for his birthday. For a child's microscope, it is a very good value. However, as a child's microscope, it isn't as sturdy as I would hope. The eyepiece had come off relatively soon out of the box. The first time it happened, we were able to screw the piece back in, but the second time it happened, something broke it in. We are still able to use it, but have to balance the eyepiece in the microscope while viewing.
It comes with a dust cover, which is very handy to keep clean and nice.
A recommendation is to find a place with extra slides, as this only comes with a few prepared slides and any inquisitive child will lose interest in those quickly (and if there isn't anything new, may lose interest in the microscope itself quickly).
Customer Review: nice
Summary: 5 Stars
so far so good! just received the microscope in the mail and tried it out. a very nice little microscope for the money. i used microscopes quite a bit for my undergrad and graduate degrees and this one worked very well for a personal scope. i read the reviews carefully before investing in this for my daughter and so far, my expectations have been met. the box indicates that a dust cover is included. i did not find one in my package...i'm assuming that the seller will rectify this small issue and it in no way impacts my rating of the scope's performance. i was pleasantly surprised to see that it comes with an extra bulb for replacement. again, a very nice piece of equipment for the money...i would not go any cheaper than this. i'm satisfied with the purchase.Customer Review: Excellent Product!
Summary: 5 Stars
This microscope was a great fit for our small private school; we bought 2 of them and they leave our former econo-models in the dust. The microscope is sturdy and well built and has weight to it so it's not sliding around. While there aren't separate "coarse and fine" adjustment knobs, the adjustments are sensitive enough to easily focus as needed. It comes with 5 premade slides and a dust cover. Only thing I'd add would be some basic cleaning (lens) paper and a catalog for replacements or accessories; for example, light bulbs.
But for high school Biology, we couldn't be happier with our "find". Try finding a decent microscope that's more than $20-30, but less than $150! This one fills the gap nicely.

I had the same problem with ShopZeus as another reviewer. We were disappointed in the microscope. It is technically a fine microscope but after you look at the 5 sample slides, what then? There is nothing that can be used to make more slides, you'd have to buy that separately. I hit a dead end trying to return it. There needs to be a number provided by ShopZeus before you can return anything. I emailed asking for this number and never heard back. Amazon replied promptly to my help request and refunded the money but asked that I return the item to ShopZeus. I couldn't find an address for the company on their website, Amazon's website or the box. What a pain. Take a look at Eye-Clops. It was a great hit.
