The dye is toxic!!
My 10 year old kid played with the dye then we find out it's toxic to inhale.. why would you put toxic chemicals in a CHILDS toy!

Hello and Thank you for reaching out. I understand your concern and want to assure you that this product does not contain any dye. There are 6 empty vials you use for collection, but we do not provide any chemicals, dyes, etc. We have also gone through rigorous testing before we release to the market. This product has been tested to all applicable children's products testing standards per the CPSA/CPSIA. If you would like to reach back or give us a call we would be happy to put you more at ease. Look forward to hearing from you if so.

Yes
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Why isn't dye that comes with the microscope?

Great Product for Price
This microscope is relatively cheap compared to other microscopes and works very well. It's really easy to use and I had a lot of fun experimenting with it. Although, it's hard to see bacteria. The only issue I have with this is that I'm missing the pipette, petri dish, and stirring rod when I got the microscope.

Great for home learning
We recieved this product in exchange for an honest review and we LOVE it. My daughter and my son (aged 8 and 6) have found it fasinating and it has prompted lots of questions and discussions. It is a great educational tool to have in the house and it is a great acivity to do together as a family. We will be using this for a long time.

Great First Microscope
My daughter has enjoyed using the GeoSafari MicroPro. She was eager to use it immediately, and I had to slow her down, so we could read the directions and discuss the care and use of the lens, slides and instruments. She did have difficulty focusing the lens initially, but finally got the adjustment correct and was excited to see the specimens on the prepared slides. The kit comes with 12 blank slides and she is eager to make her own. This microscope will be invaluable not only for her every day studies, but also for her annual science fair school project.

Great if you can help your child.
I received this product for testing purposes through Educational Insights. Overall it is not a bad product for the price. I did have issues focusing at first and it was beyond the frustration level of many of my students. This is not really a toy that can be handed to a child to use. They will need assistance and guidance with using it.

Nice microscope for kids!
This microscope is a great beginner microscope for kids. The biggest con we found was a lack of clear instructions and even my ten year old needed a nice amount of adult assistance to use it. Once we figured it out, my children of various ages 3-10 all enjoy using it and find it fascinating to look at the different slides. The older bunch loved creating their own slides. I recommend, especially for this price. I received this product in exchange for my honest review.

Fun and entertaining
My family and I had a great time playing and learning with this microscope. We did not have anything like this, so I had to read through the manual since its been a long, long time since I've been in a science class. The MicroPro requires 2 AA batteries (not included) to work with the led light that's used to see th specimen. There are 2 eyepieces, plenty of slides to collect and view objects, and an assortment of tools to handle your items. The microscope is one sturdy, high quality piece. There are 3 slides pre loaded with specimens, which made it easy to use right out of the box. This microscope has kept our family intrigued and entertained as we continue to find new things we want to look at and examine. Great product!

Well Done
After inheriting lots of slides, we've been wanting a microscope! I took a while exploring this microscope with my husband and 9 year old before writing this review. Overall, I feel that it is a very good price to pay for the set and it is a good one for beginners! It comes with a lot of neat accessories and we have enjoyed tinkering with it. Lots of learning to come with this.

Great for a Beginning Scientist
This microscope got my 9 year old very excited to immediately try out! He loved how it came with all the specimen bottles so he could collect his own things. It was also great that it came with some pre-made slides, so he could try it out right away. This kit definitely comes with a lot of pieces, so it's for older kids. The only downside is, like many microscopes, it was quite difficult to dial in and see what was on the slides initially, but once we got it figured out, it was great!
