As home schooling parents we desire to give our children the best education possible. We've come to realize this requires more than quality curriculum; it demands high quality resources! We have used the Ultimate Home Microscope and it has exceeded our expectations for scientific study and discovery. The high-powered lens, the variety of magnifications, and the intensified light make this microscope and excellent resource! As we lead our children to learn the sciences, they have been able to see the amazing intricate designs of God’s created world and their knowledge and faith has increased. This up-close look at the world around them would not have been possible without the aid of this tool. The Ultimate Home Microscope has been appropriately named and we recommend it highly!

Choosing a microscope is a difficult task to the cost conscious homeschooler but the key is good quality optics and versatility. The Ultimate Home Microscope is worth the investment. It is a well build scientific instrument with excellent optics and it gives a clear image at the maximum magnification. Also, having the mechanical stage, adjustable light intensity and 1000x magnification is a must for our family to enjoy an in-depth study of biology. While there are less expensive microscopes available, I chose this microscope to allow for a wide range of studies from elementary through the high school level, and beyond!
This one is a keeper!

It is rare for us to find a homeschool item, curricula or tool that we keep for all five of our children. This microscope is one of those rarities. Those of you – like us – who have tried to ‘get by’ with the cheap versions will understand the frustration we went through before we purchased this microscope. The quality, versatility and functionality make this one a five-star keeper! The coaxial focusing and stage are easy to manipulate. Also, the halogen light provides a bright concentrated white light. This ultimate home microscope can be used for elementary level sciences, middle school sciences – as well as the high school sciences. My teens are currently using this microscope for Apologia Biology. The students favor and end up crowded around this microscope because of the clarity and quality. I am sure that we will get many more years usage and enjoyment from this quality microscope!
