 Learning slides review December 27, 2008
These are very nice, but the paper is peeling off of a couple of them already (and we just opened them yesterday. Otherwise, they are great for teaching kids.

Learning Resources Prepared Slides Combination Set, 48 Specimens provides young scientists the opportunity to view the world in a new and different way. For a reasonable cost ($16 for me...) I'm able to share something fun and interesting with my daughter which elicits "look at this Mom..." and "what do you think a 'blank' looks like under the microscope?"
Upon close examination these are glass prepared slides. Originally I thought they weren't, but after using them a bit I noted that there is a lightweight cardboard cover over the slide to identify the specimens on each slide. Not 'excellent' slides with regards to clarity, but certainly a great starter set: easy to use, simple things to view under any magnification.
In all you receive two boxes (set one and two) which include samples labeled as follows.
-Animals: cat hair, canary feather, dog hair, sheep hair.
-Pollens & Spore: tulip pollen, leaf spore, pine tree pollen, orange pollen.
-Tiny Creatures: common red sponge, angora rabbit hair, ant, mouse fur.
-Textile Fibers: panya, nylon, wool, handmade paper.
-Insects: dragon-fly wing, worker-bee wing, bee antenna, bee abdomen.
-Plants: stem of corn, leaf of nerium, onion rind, silver berry scaly hair.
-Pollen & Spore: pollen of lily, sunflower pollen, bottle brush spore, fern spore.
-Tiny Creature: plant louse, fruit fly, shrimp egg, silk worm larva (moth)
-Textile Fibers: hemp fiber, silk stuff, cotton fibre, bemberg.
-Insects: leg of butterfly, wing of butterfly, wing of locust, let of honey bee.
-Plants: pine wood, camellia leaf section, bamboo shoot, sponge gourd.
-Animals: goldfish scale, hare hair, camel hair, feather fowl point.

I bought this product and a microscope for both of my grandsons for Christmas. They still enjoy them. They are both 8 years old and it introduced them to a whole new world.

I purchased this slide set for my 8-year old daughter and she loves it. She has spent alot of time using it. There is a nice assortment of specimens. She is now looking forward to making her own slides. I just asked her how she likes it and she says that "I recommend them for kids who are interested in science or tiny squashed up bugs". Of course they are glass and should be handled with some care.
