Had one when I was a kid. I looked at some tap water and it put me of drinking it for weeks.

hope you're all doing fine ad enjoying the summer.
Come to mention it I was in blighty last week with Mrs Benes and the children visiting grandparents, we rented a Skoda Octavia from Hertz at the airport and they were so kind they upgraded us to an black E Class E220D AMG edition - which was nice
Anyway down to business
I want to get the children a microscope for Christmas.
Am thinking about this Apex model:

Anybody any experience of buying a reasonable quality microscope for children and which make and model ?
As ever, I want to buy one and not have to upgrade later - don't like spending money twice
Best,
Milan.

They don't make them anymore but I've got one of these Intel Play - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and they're great fun. I should dig it out and make some images to post on here, maybe even some for Stek

I thought a microscope these days would be a USB device that you viewed on a computer screen. Are traditional optical ones still in widespread use?
(I have no relevant expertise, haven't looked down one since high-school biology.)
A search on Amazon for USB microscope does seem to find many items.Comment

It's ok ish.
The amazon one looks a good deal more professional, you might even be able to see stuff through it.
They've also sold binoculars, bird watching (the flying kind) glasses and telescopes."You’re just a bad memory who doesn’t know when to go away" JRComment

My missus bought me one of these
Works really well. Haven't used it much apart from creating great gross-out pictures of a tick found on one of the dogs and a head-louse from one of the kids still with its last meal in it.Comment
