Due to a different way of preparing plastic slides, some bubbles may be trapped. As such, the viewing quality would not fully match that of glass slides. However, it is sufficient for children's educational purpose. Please refer to the 3rd image for actual views of specimens under microscope to have a better idea.
Please take note that the butterfly specimen is delicate. While we try our best to provide maximum padding to the specimen, it may still be damaged slightly during transit. Slight defects on the specimen should not affect the viewing pleasure under microscope. However, if the specimen is seriously broken, please feel free to contact us.
