Review: Exceptional value for the money - I'll start out by pointing out that this is a $35 microscope. It has its limitations, and I doubt if this model is in use at the CDC. But for the money, it's an excellent buy. We got this one for our five-year-old son, who enjoys it very much, and is able to use it. He started out with quite a bit of adult guidance, but he is now able to use it by himself. As far as I can tell, the optics are quite good. There do appear to be a couple of minor flaws, so that if the microscope is out of focus, some phantom images come into view. But as it is focused, they disappear, and you get a clear image. From some of the other reviews, it appears that the lamp sometimes fails to work. Ours works much better than expected, but I wouldn't consider the electric light to be critical. The microscope is actually easier to use with the mirror, and you generally get a better image. The trick is to place a bright light in front of the microscope, shining on the mirror. A desk lamp works well. Then, before attemting to focus the microscope, move the mirror around until the light through the eyepiece is brightest. Only then should you begin to focus. Start with the lowest magnification, carefully focus the image, and then carefully move the slide around to center the image. After you have focused it with the lowest magnification, then increase the magnification (without moving anything else), and then repeat the process of focusing. In most cases, it's best to stay with the lowest magnification. But you should always start with the lowest magnification. If the bulb burns out, it should be possible to replace it at any almost any hardware store. Simply show them the bulb, and they will find one the same shape and size. The only other piece of information you need to give is the voltage, which would be three volts. But again, if the bulb burns out or fails to work for some reason, better results can be obtained with the mirror. In any event, a burnt out lightbulb shouldn't induce the levels of trauma suggested by some other reviewers. You certainly shouldn't just stop using the microscope and simply wait for the manufacturer to send you a new bulb. Louis Pasteur probably didn't have an electric light on his microscope, and you child doesn't need one either! If you understand the limitations and take care when adjusting the focus knob, you will get excellent results from this microscope. It comes with enough prepared slides so that you can begin looking at things right away. I would recommend starting with the prepared slides. Once you've figured out how the microscope works, you will be able to move on to other items. Other reviewers have pointed out that many of the accessories are of very poor quality. The slides are actually quite good, and since they're plastic, you don't need to worry about breakage. Another reviewer correctly pointed out that the warning about sharp objects is absolutely unnecessary, since the "scalpel" is made out of plastic, and is incapable of cutting, intentionally or otherwise. We originally intended to remove the scalpel before giving the microscope to our son, but that was not necessary. The various other petri dishes, eye droppers, etc., are perfectly functional. This is not a toy microscope. It is a completely functional microscope that happens to be cheap enough that it can be given to kids as a very educational toy. It's an exceptional value for the money. Review: Great first microscope - I have a 7 year old daughter who thinks that this microscope is the coolest Christmas gift she received. It's easy to use and works really well. I, myself, having worked in an environment where microscopes were used on an hourly basis am very impressed with how well this microsope actually works. I would suggest finding glass slides and coverslips if you decide to try and make any permanent slides of your own. The ones supplied in the kit are plastic which are fine for limited use. With repetative use they will get scratched and unusable (lots of use - class room or home school setting). The premade slides that come with the kit are high quality and making your own slides is as simply as it should be. I would recommend this product highly. ## Features - HIGH POWER MICROSCOPE SET FOR KIDS: The GeoSafari MicroPro microscope kit comes with everything needed for in-depth scientific examination, including both prepared and blank microscope slides - SUPPORTS STEM LEARNING: Through hands-on experience, this microscope science kit provides a fun introduction to a real tool; follow the activity guide to collect specimens and view them up close - CLASSROOM AND HOMESCHOOL RESOURCE: This handy microscope set makes a great addition to biology and chemistry lessons both at school and at home to get beginner scientists on the path to discovery - KIDS MICROSCOPE KIT INCLUDES: 50x-600x magnification microscope, prepared & blank slides, tools for specimen prep, and storage case for accessories; LED light requires 2 AA batteries (not included) - GIFTS FOR KIDS: Educational Insights toys and games make great birthday gifts for kids, holiday stocking stuffers, Easter basket toys, and back-to-school presents for teachers and students ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0001FPRC0 | | Best Sellers Rank | #307,782 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #189 in Kids' Microscopes | | Brand | Educational Insights | | Built-In Media | microscope; 10x and 20x glass eyepieces; 5 prepared slides; 18 blank slides; lab supplies; and an 18-page instruction and activity guide | | Color | Multicolor | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 out of 5 stars 1,356 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Plastic, Metal, Glass | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00086002053015 | | Item Type Name | Educational Insights GeoSafari Micropro 95-Piece Microscope Set | | Item Weight | 0.84 Kilograms | | Light Source Type | LED | | Magnification Maximum | 600 | | Manufacturer | Educational Insights | | Manufacturer Part Number | 5301 | | Material | Plastic, Metal, Glass | | Model Name | Educational Insights GeoSafari Micropro 48-Piece Microscope Set | | Model Number | 5301 | | Objective Lens Description | Achromatic | | Power Source | Battery Powered | | Real Angle Of View | 45 Degrees | | Real Angle of View | 45 Degrees | | UPC | 163120264940 763615762007 086002053015 151903001226 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Voltage | 3 Volts | | Warranty Description | No Warranty | ## Product Details - **Light Source Type:** LED - **Model Name:** Educational Insights GeoSafari Micropro 95-Piece Microscope Set - **Material:** Glass - **Color:** Multicolor - **Real Angle of View:** 45 - **Magnification Maximum:** 600 - **Item Weight:** 0.84 Kilograms - **Voltage:** 3 Volts - **Brand:** Educational Insights - **Objective Lens Description:** Achromatic ## Images ![Educational Insights GeoSafari MicroPro 95-Piece LED Microscope Set - High Powered Microscope for Kids 8-12, Scientist Kit for Kids with Prepared Slides and Blank Slides, Home or Classroom Science Set - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71h2vQ-PtLL.jpg) ![Educational Insights GeoSafari MicroPro 95-Piece LED Microscope Set - High Powered Microscope for Kids 8-12, Scientist Kit for Kids with Prepared Slides and Blank Slides, Home or Classroom Science Set - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81il8uPK14L.jpg) ![Educational Insights GeoSafari MicroPro 95-Piece LED Microscope Set - High Powered Microscope for Kids 8-12, Scientist Kit for Kids with Prepared Slides and Blank Slides, Home or Classroom Science Set - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/712LOTQDlVL.jpg) ![Educational Insights GeoSafari MicroPro 95-Piece LED Microscope Set - High Powered Microscope for Kids 8-12, Scientist Kit for Kids with Prepared Slides and Blank Slides, Home or Classroom Science Set - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81D3CL2sG5L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: is it made entirely of plastic** A: Metal, Plastic, Glass **Q: Do the instructions come in Spanish?** A: Hi DeborahUnfortunately the instructions are not in Spanish. **Q: Does it come with batterys** A: Hi RosaThe batteries are not included with the microscope.

I think if really interested and want to make own slides a sturdier microscope is needed ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional value for the money *by R***M on February 15, 2010* I'll start out by pointing out that this is a $35 microscope.

It's easy to use and works really well. I, myself, having worked in an environment where microscopes were used on an hourly basis am very impressed with how well this microsope actually works.

I would recommend this product highly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Big hit with my 9-year old *by R***H on March 5, 2014* This microsope was a huge hit with my oldest son. He's been using it nonstop since opening it. While overall it's a good product, I do have some criticisms... + The entire body is plastic. I almost broke off a critical part making what I would consider a minor adjustment. Be very cautious. + The two eyepieces that came with it screw on and off (instead of slipping in), and do not do so easily. They were very easy to cross-thread and even when I had the threads correctly aligned, it was difficult and jerky to screw them in and out. I was sure I was about to break something. + The two clips that hold slides in are stationary. They should at least be loose enough to swivel. Also there is no way to move the clips in an x-y coordinate system as I would expect from a decent microscope--instead you have to manually push the slide around with your finger, which obviously can be a very clunky process. + The slides have a square in the middle for the specimen, but the slide covers are ROUND and too big to fit entirely into the square. What the heck? Horrible design decision there. + Scalpel looks VERY real! It's non-dangerous plastic, though, but from more than 12 inches away it's hard to tell. Despite the above "cons" overall I really like this microscope and for the money it's a great value. It's received heavy use in the last week and hasn't broken, which is more than I can say about most mass-produced plastic toys these days. It has introduced my son to the microscopic world, and anything that can so significantly distract his attention from video games is a fantastic product in my opinion. ## Frequently Bought Together - Educational Insights GeoSafari Micropro 48-Piece Microscope Set, Prepared Slides, Instruction and Activity Guide, Ages 8 and up, (48 pieces) - Complete Book of the Microscope --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/82402200-educational-insights-geosafari-micropro-95-piece-led-microscope-set-high](https://www.desertcart.com.ar/products/82402200-educational-insights-geosafari-micropro-95-piece-led-microscope-set-high) --- *Product available on Desertcart Argentina* *Store origin: AR* *Last updated: 2026-05-15*
