RahRah Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 We're looking to purchase a good microscope for DS....recommendations sought! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G5052 Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 (edited) I finally bought one last year that will be good for high school from Tobin's Lab, but we got by with a pocket microscope and a so-so stereo one for years.

ilovemy4kids Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 We bought the one from Sonlight back in 98 and love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeghanL Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 We bought this one for my 7 year old and he really likes it. Although I must admit we haven't hooked it up to the computer yet. It was certainly one of the less expensive models available and it seemed more durable than the more expensive ones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nukeswife Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 Last fall I bought the Home Microscope from Home Science Tools and we love it. My FIL who is a high school biology teacher said it was a great choice and he's usually a nay sayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarlaS Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 I have this one on my amazon wishlist: http://www.amazon.com/Thames-Kosmos-Biology-Tk2-Scope/dp/B001ALT6BM/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=I368K8O84COPV3&colid=3O61TR8Y9PF1P We also have a laboratory quality compound binocular microscope, but I want something I can let the younger kids use without worrying about them messing with some sensitive adjustment knob.

KristineinKS Posted April 5, 2011 Share Posted April 5, 2011 After doing a mind boggling amount of research on microscopes, we ended up buying the Home Microscope from Home Science Tools also and have been very happy with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
