From the desk of the product designer:
Behind the design
“We tried making the eye piece soft and squishy, but that just made people want to smoosh their eye into it — which pushed the lens down and out of focus! To keep that from happening, we made the eye piece firm and unsquishable.”

Both of my grandchildren loved this. The 8 year old helped the 4 year old with assembly and they both are enjoying using it.

We love this handy microscope! Magnification is good enough for a toy, and my kid loves collecting ferns, leaves and acorns to examine.

My 7yo loves this microscope! It comes fully assembled with everything you need including a book with ideas of things to examine. We've done salt crystals, plants, dirt. A great and fun educational tool!
