Well Crafted SetReviewed By: Renee Nicely packed & presented w/ informative insert. My son is 11, so I wanted to find slides that would be safe but not be limiting. These slides include 3 concave , and all are nicely ground on edges & corners. Also comes w/ reusable storage case. The glass slide covers are super thin, & I elected to get a plastic set so he can learn to use handle the plastics, & we'll save these for later. Would be great to include or add slide mounting fluid -something I forgot.

quality items This kit was received with a 1000x microscope I had ordered. I am so glad I thought to get it because after receiving the scope my family wanted to look at everything! Quality merchandise and received in a well packaged box. I definitely recommend it.
Read More Reviews - Monday, December 29, 2008 Microscope slide making kit Reviewed By: r. Gable It is a nice little kit which provides exactly what the description lists. I was particularly pleased with the quality of the quality of the plastic box which holds the slides. I gave it to my 10 year old granddaughter. For myself I would have preferred the more complete kit, but for her it is probably just about right.
It was shipped quickly when ordered and arrived in good time for Christmas. I will certainly order from Home Science Tools in the future.
- Friday, October 17, 2008 Slide Making Kit Reviewed By: Deanna I purchased this kit along with the basic elementary prepared slide set. The two kits together are a good solid set for an introduction to the microscopic world. The slides are well-packaged with a good number of cover slides. One of the projects we're using this for is looking at pond water from the top & bottom of the pond and comparing it to aquarium water. If I had been thinking ahead, I would have bought a couple of extra concavity slides because the two in this kit aren't enough for that purpose.

Had a couple of slides that were broken during shipping and were immediately replaced!! Hard to find customer service like this anymore! Thank you so much!!

The product itself is very good: everything nicely arranged, with a useful suggestion booklet included. I will certainly reorder from this company in the future.
