Frontier Mom Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I looked at Sonlight and Home Science Tools. Can someone give me recommendations and/or what to look for? I know there are several vendors that sell them at the conference so I want to go armed with info. as to what I need to look for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pamela H in Texas Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 From our experience and what I've seen on these boards, just get the Sonlight. You'll like it :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny_Weatherwax Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Natures Workshop sells some pretty nice microscopes. Their link is www.workshopplus.com The prices are pretty comparable with other retailers but they offer discounts at homeschool conferences. Ours was 10% off and included a start up kit (slides, cleaner, lens paper, microscope book). They also sell slides (blank and prepared), dissecting kits, etc. We purchased a steroscopic microscope from them. DS is into entomology, geology, etc and we needed something that would enable him to see the fine details of his current speciman. We are very pleased with it.

Would you share which model you have? I see they have many different ones at various price ranges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KLynnTX Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I'll second the Sonlight microscope! I have it, and it is great! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frontier Mom Posted April 13, 2009 Author Share Posted April 13, 2009 Thanks. Is this the one for $240 on their website? Does anyone know if they have a conference special of any kind? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
