Ordered a My First Lab Duo Scope for my 10yr old son as a Christmas gift. The microscope promptly arrived and was well packaged to prevent any damage during transit. I am glad I paid a little extra for a quality microscope as opposed to the cheaper ones sold by major retailers that typically leave kids underwhelmed with the viewing performance. My son was eager to try it out Christmas day and we all had a go at viewing the pre-made slide that came with the kit. Overall I was pleased with the build quality and optics of the microscope and would recommend it as a great first microscope for young kids and highly recommend microscopes.com.au as a place of purchase.
