Several weeks ago I was contacted by CSN Stores to do a product review. Well, I finally got around to ordering our product and it's here!
CSN Stores has great customer service and my product came quickly. I ordered the Carson zOrb 35x Digital Microscope.
This thing is really neat! You plug it into your USB port and install the software to view with the microscope. Unfortunately, my disc drive no longer works, so my husband had to "put it on the network" so I could find it. I have no idea that means, but he got it working and we've enjoyed the Carson zOrb!
Abby took over it immediately and had no trouble focusing and capturing pictures. Here's a few:
Purple Ribbon
Barbie Dress
The Carson zOrb will be really cool to have when Abby finds new rocks, leaves, etc. She likes to go on nature walks and pick things up. We might even have to take the laptop outside and plug in the zOrb to view some critters! No critters in my house!
I know it seems far away, but I think the Carson zOrb would be a great (dare I say) Christmas gift. Abby has been having a lot of fun with it. I've been wanting a microscope for her to use, but the reviews on the less expensive ones are not so good. I think the zOrb will work perfectly as a microscope for us, until Abby is quite a bit older and we can invest in a larger microscope if necessary.
Do you have a microscope? What kinds of fun projects do you use it for?

Also, have you started Christmas shopping? Just kidding! Of course, I know there are many people that buy all year.

This seems like a really cool gadget!!! We have one of those cheapy dollar store magnifying glasses that doesn't work that well but it's good enough when the kids want to look at bugs and other ugly things!
Ooooh, cool! Sierra would love that.
That does look very cool!
We don't have a microscope, but I would love one!
I start Christmas shopping in October. I can't imagine buying all year.
Hooray for a microscope that actually works! I've been wanting a microscope for my kids, too, but had the same problem with the cheaper ones.
That thing looks really cool!!
I didn't think it would be so small! Very neat!!!
Very fun! My kids would have a blast with that.
