 Lots better than origianal microscopes October 27, 2008
This is great! I struggle looking through the origianal microscopes but as I can see this on my computer screen its great. I also love the way you can take and save photos from it. This means I can look at my obsevations again and again. It also means that I can use the pictures for my homework. I'd say this product is sutable for ages 6 to adult.
Excellent once we could get it to work January 4, 2007

I think the other reviews just about sum this product up. Very impressive for what it is (and claims to be) - an educational toy. It is much more than a toy but not quite a professional microscope. br / br /I admit to being a bit unhappy at the way the software changes the computer display resolution. Once it is working properly this should not matter as it restores it on exit but if you are having problems it can take some sorting out to get your computer back into a sensible state. br / br /In our case we tried three computers before we got it working. I am fairly sure this was not the fault of the product but the fact that the older computers did not supply sufficient current on the USB port to enable it to work. Be warned - it is not tolerant of computers not up to spec!

When I first plugged it in, the lights just flashed went out. Next time it worked for about 5 minutes, then nothing. Contacted Digital Blue they suggested a powered USB 2.1 Hub. I got one from Amazon HAMA USB 2.0 1;4 Cost inc. p.p. 16.12. Worked a treat. Maybe all older PCs need this boost.
Excellent for kids, not powerful enough for adults. April 20, 2006

A very robust bit of kit, easy to setup and use. The software is top notch, the kids will get to grips with it in seconds. I unleashed this on our four sprogs and sent them off finding stuff to examine. Tadpoles, spiders, all manner of bugs critters, bogies, ear wax. You name it, they stick it under the microscope. br / br /The time lapse was superb for keeping tabs on the frog spawn growing into a tadpole. All in all the perfect spring/summer project to keep the little ones entertained during the weekends and holidays. br / br /It loses one star only because the x200 magnification is a bit useless. At that mag the picture is blurred and grainy. But for the other two mags it's perfect.
