Yesterday during lunch I took a trip to Goodwill to look at the books, and left the store with a new microscope set for $6.50. What a great buy. This same set retails on Amazon for $79.99. The one we purchased had a box that looked like it had been through the ringer and then stuffed in a closet for a few years, but all of the pieces pictured above were still taped neatly in their styrofoam compartments. The one I bought also came with safety goggles, and methylene blue and eosin. The original price tag had been scratched off, so this was probably a discarded birthday or Christmas present. Their loss.
I brought it home last night, and Coral played with it until about 11 pm, until I finally made her go bed. It was also the first thing she played with when she woke up in the morning. After running errands today, she went right back to it when we got home. I think I've already got my $6.50 out of it for sure.
