Title: Phooey.
Product review: Well, you get what you pay for. Or maybe not even. I was hoping for a starter set for my very inquisitive 4 year old. The microscope is truly worthless. I can't make it show me anything except a blur for a fiber (I'm a scientist, BTW, and work with microscopes on a regular basis). The telescope is marginally better, but still not worth it. I bought this at the TRU store and will be taking it back this afternoon. I refuse to have this piece of garbage in my home. I read a review on another item that summarized my feelings for this one... "this item discourages children from becoming interested in science". I'm so glad I checked it out before I gave it to him for Christmas. I'll be spending a little more and getting something we can actually use to check out at least some planets.
