Interesting, quality not great.
This set is most useful for the samples that are too fragile to be handled- the butterflies- and they are what I bought the set for. Unfortunately, the lamination is much thinner than I expected- probably about 3 mil or less, while I expected closer to 5 mil. I fear that the flexibility of the lamin...ation will cause the wings to be broken. I tried re-laminating them with 5 mil sheets, but the plastic becomes foggy. Additionally, only the butterfly wings are real. The butterfly's "body" is simply drawn on in black. Of course it would be difficult to laminate the body[...].If you're buying for the butterflies, and durability is not an issue, I recommend this set. If you're buying for the leaves or feathers, it's easy to collect and laminate your own samples with higher quality laminating materials.

I bought this for our Pre-K 4 class and encouraged them to look at each one of them using the microscope: one specimen per week, then draw your observation in the Science Journal. Recommend it.

This set is great for showing coarse details of various insects, plants seeds. Many of the specimens are colorful and provide texture, which is great for capturing students attention and works well with projection systems.
