I gave the device to my 9 year old daughter for Christmas, so that they can examine their mineral collection closer (this product are also a few mineral samples enclosed) and they had a huge joy so. With small crystal chambers in otherwise unremarkable appearing stones to open up new worlds. The minting of coins, the printing and the paper structure on banknotes and the filament of a light bulb little we have also considered with interest and I had previously no idea how the lines of my fingerprint really look.
Through the incident (in contrast to the mostly used in transmitted light microscope) the structure of the surface and the space effect come to better advantage. It may also be considered objects that are not transparent and by the great distance and also thick objects can be placed (up to 7cm) under the stereo microscope. The device is simple in construction, appears to be robust to me and is therefore also suitable for children's hands. The operation is so simple that really no guidance is necessary (Quick Start Guide in several languages included).
