Looks like it should cost a pound
After I collected this from the desk I realised how small, light and cheap it looks. As it was a Christmas present and looked like it should come from a pound shop it was returned before I left Argos!

Too small and not working

Not worth the money!
I bought this microscope for the kids to explore in the garden. It’s really fiddly to use, you have to keep your finger on the light and when trying to position the lenses up and down they unwind themselves so you have to keep your hand on these too. It’s then impossible to keep the Microsoft still to view. I would not waste the money spent on this item. It’s useless!
