Title: Tricky to use and doesn't magnify
Product review: My 5 year old and I were both very frustrated with this microscope when we first received this gift from his Grandma. The microscope wouldn't recognize the codes we were entering. It turns out that we weren't pushing the slide down far enough (they snaps in on the right side and then sits in the microscope a little crooked). It feels like the slide isn't in right but this is the only way the codes will work for us. That said, it's difficult for him to get the slide in just right and when he plays with it by himself he puts the slide in backwards so the code doesn't work. As other reviewers have noted the slides are only of bugs, you can't purchase other slides, and you can't magnify anything (and isn't that the cool part of a microscope?). A little disappointing.
