Definate buy. December 30, 2007

I was a little hesitant to purchase this product after reading some of the other reviews; however I was delighted with the product after it arrived. The samples are good, great variety, and no issues with them being 'dusty'. I would definately recommend these slides to others for the purposes of fun and education.

Great specimens!! November 12, 2009

I was pleasantly surprised with the specimen especially after reading some of the reviews. The specimen are made well, were not dusty, boxed well and labeled nicely. I found that some people did not care for some of the slides. I thought all of them were incredible!! All the hair slides do look different, not all the same as someone stated in their review. If you have a duo-scope microscope (I have a My First Lab Duo-Scope - Love it!) that allows you to view the slides with light from above and light from below you will see major differences in detail. If you look at the slides with the light from below, some look a bit boring. But, if you use the light from above the slides the detail is amazing. My husband and I checked out all the slides before the kids and we were amazed! Even the hair samples looked great. We especially loved the ant slide, what detail!!! I think that the differences in what other reviewers saw have to do with the microscope being used.

The 48 specimens come in two boxes of 6 slides each which are 6 different categories. Each slide contains 4 specimens.

The slides for the first box are as follows:
1)Pollen & Spore - Pollen of lily, Sunflower pollen, Bottle brush spore, Fern spore
2)Tiny Creature - Plant louse, Fruit fly, Shrimp Egg, Silk worm larva (moth)
3)Textile Fibers - Hemp fiber, Silk stuff, Cotton fiber, Bemberg
4)Insects - Leg of butterfly, Wing of butterfly, Wing of locust, Leg of honey bee
5)Plants - Pine Wood, Camellia leaf section, Bamboo shoot, Sponge gourd
6)Animals - Goldfish scale, Hare hair, Camel hair, Feather fowl point

The slides for the second box are as follows:
1)Pollen & Spore - Tulip pollen, Leaf spore, Pine tree pollen, Orange pollen
2)Tiny Creature - Common red sponge, Angora rabbit hair, Ant, Mouse fur
3)Textile Fibers - Panya, Nylon, Wool, Handmade paper
4)Insects - Dragon-Fly wing, Worker Bee wing, Bee antenna, Bee abdomen
5)Plants - Stem of corn, Leaf of nerium, Onion rind, Silver berry scaly hair
6)Animals - Cat hair, Canary feather, Dog hair, Sheep hair

All the specimens for each category is color coded. I am very happy with my purchase.

I purchased this slide set for my 8-year old daughter and she loves it. She has spent alot of time using it. There is a nice assortment of specimens. She is now looking forward to making her own slides. I just asked her how she likes it and she says that "I recommend them for kids who are interested in science or tiny squashed up bugs". Of course they are glass and should be handled with some care.

These are great! I am glad that we spent the extra money to get these when we decided to purchase the microscope! It was nice to have some premade slides where my son could immediately view insects and other things. I mean, we are in the dead of winter so bugs and pollen and things like that are scarce right now. He will be taking one of these slides along with his microscope to school for show and tell! Very good way to get them introduced and excited about science!!

Perfect for homeschoolers November 9, 2009

These slides are perfect for homeschooling younger children ages 5 - 11. I would guess that any older than that and the child would be bored. A lot of science books require that a child look at specific things under a microscope but one can't be located. These are perfect for that situation. Add on some blank slides and the experience is perfect. If you're looking for a great microscope, check out "My First Lab Duo-Scope."
