Microscope--Cheap

[scmhogg]

If you have ever wanted to check out your sharpening technique, or look at the cell structure of a wood species, here's your chance for $7.99 plus $4.99 shipping. It's made by Vivitar.

As the name of the website indicates, this is only available for one day.

Looks a lot like the old Tasco kit I got for Christmas a few decades ago, very similar tools too.

That's not a bad price.

And Vivitar not a bad camera, had several of them. Cheap but they worked very well. Think I may jump on this. THanks for sharing the link.

This isn't the same Vivitar.

They are just a brand of another company now, and much of the Vivitar branded stuff is now cheap Korean products. Some is decent quality, but not all.

I do want a microscope for kids, but this does not specify the magnification or any other tech details. Might interest my 7 year old, but not my 10 year old.

I wish the 'My First Lab Duo' scope was available on some such deal; not that $70 is too high, but $12 would be awesome!

It looks just like one I had in junior high school.
