Cons

The pen cant be focused so the microscope component of this only works if you put something on the table and put this directly on top of it

The telescope end of the pen also does not focus but it seems ok for looking at things that are far away

Weve discovered that its best to use the microscope in lots of light

So if youre not outside or near a window use it under a lamp or shine a flashlight on it

This worked fairly well but was rather easy for my child to disassemble and promptly breaklose pieces of the scope which then rendered it fairly useless as a scope
