I want to use this in a classroom setting for kids to look at plants details will it work for that?

In general it is good. However it depends on the child age. For very young kids you may need a large lens

Yes it will work for that. I use it to look at coin dates and detail and also to see if jewelry is 14 k or sterling silver.

Yes. i used it for a photo editing class - switching back and forth between the apples at school and my PC at home. it was great.

I found that this projector was very much brighter than others I have used. I didn't try it in a well lit classroom, so I can't say for sure about your situation but if you have a good reflective screen I think it should be good. At least it is the best I have seen.

I would imagine that it would work for that use. I find that the proper distance from the eye is about the same as where you would hold a book to read. I hope this helps!! Dave

I think it would be perfect for such a use. They throw a fair amount of light at a short distance, so reading should be fine. I don't agree with the other users who said it's very low light. It would be way too bright as a night-light (IMO). It's not going to light up a room, but a kid doesn't need a lot of light for bedtime reading.

Yes! My son used it for a science project that measured the amount of electricity fruit generated and it worked wonderfully.

Not sure if it would be good for everyday use for students. But for an office setting or quick use. Yes

I think it would be just fine - it has the same magnification as high school scopes. I am including a informative website on buying a microscope. Hope it helps. http://www.microscope-microscope.org/basic/buyers-guide.htm

I think it would. I use it to study and it lights up most of my desk space.

This light should be more than sufficient for your purposes. It is very bright and works quite well for plants. I no longer have an aquarium, but last spring I set it up for our garden starters; the plants under this light did much better than those under an ordinary full-spectrum light. I hope this helps.

Hi Alexander - for personal use - this might be okay. I purchased one for use in an elementary school and it wasn't sturdy enough for school use. The plastic is a little 'hard' and feels like it will snap and we did break one on the first day..... So - if you are a gentle and careful with things - maybe it's for you - but I would hesitate to recommend it. Colleen

I bought it for school use and I would probably put it in a vise for my students. It is fairly heavy, so it could be used by itself if you are careful.

Yes. I am also visually impaired and I use this for my college classes to read the board. It should work fine.

I think it would. I use it to grow my plants from seeds. It works well for me in providing stable light source and a bit of heat.

Yes, it is bright enough for studying. All three of my children are using it an no complaints.
