AmScope PS50A Prepared Microscope Slide Set for Basic Biological Science Education, 50 Biology and Pathology Slides, Includes Fitted Wooden Case

Are there slides of mitosis and meiosis included in this set?
Where is a list of the samples BEFORE someone buys it to make sure it will meet their needs for specimens needed?? That would be very helpful!
I would be getting this for my granddaughter in high school. What microscope is good for a person just learning and wanting to be a mcrobiologist.
Is 200x good enough to view these?

Excellent slides. Great samples and staining...colorful

I've been a lab scientist for nearly 30 years, and these are good slides. I finally put these under the microscope last week when my granddaughter came over...she's a little 7-year-old brainiac. They are very beautifully stained and colorful. I've made biological slides myself with mounting medium and it can be a mess, but these are great with no bubbles trapped under the cover slips, nice thin sections, not smashed or distorted....beautifully stained. Very neatly labeled. Great sample of various 'things to look at'. No sharp edges on slides.In no time, granddaughter was taking them out of the very nice quality wooden slide box, putting them on the scope, and putting them back when she was done. She looked at different structures in stem sections of different types of plants, stomach lining cells ( I explained they were 'wavy' so they would have more absorption surface) and insect parts. I skipped explaining the life-cycle of the Ascaris egg. As I said, all of the cross sections were extremely crisp with no distortion and beautifully stained. Definitely professional and well-done.A lot can go wrong when making slides...these were clean and very well prepared. This is a great option for teaching because there is no mess!!

Quality Variation of Slides for An Interested Person

I purchased these slides for my 9 year old daughter for this Christmas; however, I took the liberty of taking them out of the box and "playing" with them for a good while to check out their quality. This is really an excellent set of slides that provides a good mix of biology and pathology slides of plants, insects, and animals. I actually am pleasantly surprised by the quality of the prepared slides, particularly since the price wasn't that expensive when you really look at prepared slides. The value and quality well exceeds the cost of these particular slides.Each slide is labeled with what it is showing, and is numbered according to the slot in the box, and a provided piece of paper supplied in the box. My paper wasn't attached to anything so I will have to laminate it or else it will be destroyed in less than a week. You get what you are looking at in the picture, and what is described. If you are interested in additional information on WHAT the slides portray, as far as why a particular thing is shaped the way it is, you either have to look at another source or just look it up on the Internet.As far as the wooden case, it seems to be of solid construction, but I haven't had it long enough to honestly review it's durability.Overall, I am extremely pleased with these slides. Now I have a Microbiology/RN back round so I may be slightly biased in my review, but I would really recommend these slides. I definitely would purchase them again without hesitation.

AmScope 50 PC Zoology-Botany Prepared Microscope Slides

I bought this product for my 9 year old son to use with his new microscope, and he was amazed with the slides, the quality is great and the specimens are interesting for a 9 year old or an adult, not at all like other slides that are "toy quality". They arrived very well packaged, and the wood box is quite sturdy.

AmScope 50 pc microscope slide set

As this product was purchased as a gift, and I don't own my own microscope, my review is only in regards to the general appearance of the product. It arrived well-padded and in good condition. The slides are individually identified, arranged in alphabetic order, and appear clean and well-prepared. An alphabetically-arranged list is included. Nice wooden case with foam padding on underside of lid keeps the slides snugly in their slots. I'd give this 5 stars for outward appearance, but had to rate it as a 4-star without the benefit of viewing them with a scope.

High quality, arrived intact, but oh so many greasy fingerprints.....

The slides arrived and were all intact inside a nice wooden storage box (My biggest fear was that some might arrive broken, but fortunately that did not happen.) The slides were all high quality and I would have given this set a 4 or even a 5 star rating, except that every slide had greasy fingerprints from whomever last handled them prior to packing and shipping. We had to sit and individually clean each slide prior to viewing. AmScope should require that the slides be cleaned prior to packing, and that gloves be worn by those workers handling them.

very clear and educational

I ordered this for use in my biology classroom as a lightning deal. I was concerned that the quality would be sub par and the slides hard to see, but I worried for no reason. These slides are much better than the ones I've been using at school. They are very clear and easy to distinguish. I would order again if the slides were different.

Exellent learning tool

Excellent quality and everything we wanted. We have a young boy who we want to bring a little closer to the concept of the micro world. These slides have been a very good tool in helping us do that. The effort that had to have been put into making these had to be amazing and that makes this an incredible value.

Cheaply Prepared, Cloudy and Covered in Stain.

The slides are cheaply prepared with a ton of glue on them. They are cloudy under the lens and it impairs the visibility of the specimen. The slides are covered in stain; if you try to wipe them with a moist cloth it stains the cloth blue but does not wipe off; the rag sticks to them as if covered in glue. Unusable.
