Product Recommendation

Motic 20-100x LED Field Microscope

http://sciencekit.com/product.asp?SPLID=SPLID01&pn=IG0028780&bhcd2=1184864689

This handy little microscope is a practical addition to a home science lab. It's lightweight and very simple to use. It even comes with a tough little carrying case. You can take this microscope on a hike and use it to view water samples at a pond - it's that portable. The scope section even detaches from the base for use as a pocket magnifier.

The controls are large and easy enough for a younger child to handle independently. The images are bright and clear, lit from both above and below. Each light has its own dimmer control.

This is an excellent choice if you're ready to go beyond low-quality toy microscopes, but not ready to shell out $100+ for a high-powered workhorse. For $50, you can go a long way with this Motic.
