Karen sn Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I need a good microscope recommendation. I LOVE science and do it for fun. Willing to invest in a good one. What say you? ETA - I had a good one as a kid - went to 1500X. Haven't seen one for a kid like that ever since! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kribby Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 I would just like to find one not worth a arm and leg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelli in TN Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 The one sold by Sonlight is very good. It is appropriate for high school work, but my younger kids like using it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Mungo Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 You might try searching for the word microsope in the curriculum forum, there have been a few threads on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DB in NJ Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Ditto to the Sonlight microscope. We paid about $200 for it, and we just love it. My 17 yo used it for Biology, and my 9 yo uses it for everything else :D Well worth the investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
