The Bresser Erudite MO exceeded our expectations! Our 8-year-old daughter could use immediately independently it after a short explanation. It is high-quality, stable, really easy to use and quickly assembled and disassembled. The appearance convinces. The supplied products are a meaningful entry into the micro-world. The aluminum case is also practical and visually gives her something. PC eyepiece + software is a really useful addition. The older children are so motivated by the possible technical "magic" to deal with the microscope longer. Our "water flea film" has become great.
