Overall Rating:  Write an online review and share your thoughts with other customers Sort Reviews: Newest | Oldest | Highest Rating | Lowest Rating - Saturday, December 29, 2012 everything you will needReviewed By: Kelly Perfect for my 12 year old daughter who is taking Life Science in 7th grade right now, and has therefore become fascinated with the microscope and preparing her own slides. Very complete kit. Highly recommended. - Tuesday, January 24, 2012 A Variety of Microlife ProjectsReviewed By: Jodi The Microscopic Life Kit is a compilation of the best of the Home Science Tools Bacteria Kit, Basic Slide Making Kit, and the Protozoa Culture Kit. Find bacteria lurking everywhere, view professional slides and learn to make your own out of materials all around and even inside of you, and view water teeming with microlife. This is a great kit that not only has a variety of projects to do, but also helps you find out what you might want to investigate further, maybe even explore as a science fair project. Well worth the money. - Tuesday, November 08, 2011 Hours of Fun in a BoxReviewed By: Beth Boehm I bought this for homeschooling my daughter in biology. I think I look at things more than she does. Fascinating....what lurks among us. - Tuesday, January 18, 2011 Can't Wait to StartReviewed By: Steven I bought this kit to start a hobby lab. Having not touched a microscope since high school, I needed the basic accessories for my new LCD Celestron scope (very good buy for home), and this kit seems to cover all my needs. As a beginner, I was very happy that the kit comes with plenty of instructions with respect to slide prep, staining, etc.. The protozoa is a _big_ plus. The only thing that I wish the kit had included would be a microtome, but instructions are included as to how to construct a makeshift one. - Monday, August 23, 2010 lab starterReviewed By: Doc This is a great kit. Nicely packaged. I started a small lab with this kit and a few other items. I am homescooling and I find it wonderful. I really enjoy the prepared slides and protoza farm. However, I do recommend more petri dishes and sterile swabs. I highly recommend this kit and this website. Read More Reviews - Saturday, April 10, 2010
Great Kit
Reviewed By: Mike
This is a great science kit at a great value! I am very happy with the bacterial cultures I have grown, as well as the vast range of protozoa that have hatched.

Right Choice
Reviewed By: Frank Hayward
Everything I had hoped for. Grandson has already made many of his own slides.
Ordering was easy and delivery was great. I look forward to more purchases in the future. Warning! Getting the catalog has made me want to buy everything in the book. Even his teacher at school is getting her own copy, and she has a Masters in Science.
