Nice for Beginners
This is a nice kit for beginners. Great for kids. My kids liked see the sample. But once you used the microscope for a little while you could probably get better samples or make your own. The slides are not the same size as the standard glass slides that I buy. It would be nice if the sample size was larger.

Great starter set of slides
Great assortment for the beginner. Slides cover various parts of different of plants, insects and animals and flowers in the manner of a general tour of each subject. It's nice for the beginner to see the subject of the slide printed on the slide as well as a larger picture of what they're going to see under the microscope. I suggest an adult opens the box, and then slide out the slide holder tray as the tray's are a bit fragile, but very useable if handled with that understanding. The price, assortment and subject matter make this is a great starter set for a child.

Poorly prepared, flimsy box can't be reclosed
I hesitate to knock stars off of a product that is admittedly on the low end of the spectrum as far as cost and quality goes. They were never designed to be laboratory quality glass slides. You are just not going to get 48 high quality slides at this price. However, these could be much better. Starting with the box they come in. As you can see form the pic, the slides are housed in a flimsy thin cardboard box. They are supposed to stay in place in that box with paper thin cardboard strips that keep the slides apart. Unfortunately, as soon as you pull that "tray" of slides out, pull a few slides out and then back in, the thin cardboard strips that hold the slides in place just tear off. This makes sliding that tray of slides, now not aligned very well, very difficult to slide back in its little box. I can only imagine that after only a few times of use, that little box holding the slides will be useless, and you're going to have to find another way to store them without them banging into each other, which would eventually destroy the slide. This product needs a better way to store their slides. Other companies usually have at least a rudimentary plastic box where the slides can be stored without damaging them. The quality of the slides themselves also leaves a lot to be desired. Samples are tiny, often not large enough to see the "big picture" of what you're supposed to be looking at. Yes this is a microscope, and thus the samples are supposed to be tiny until looked through the scope, but I have other slide sets that do a much better job at that. Of course not at this price point. I'm knocking off two stars mainly because of the container/box they are housed in. As I said, it will become useless quickly and you'll have to find a way to store the slides.
