I got a really cheap one for Christmas when I was a little kid. It didn't have a light... just a mirror you have to angle to get light to bounce up through the aperture on the stage. It also came with a dozen or so prepped specimen slides... so I looked at flowers, insect parts, whatever else that was in the kit.
Thanks for jogging that in my brain. I hadn't thought about that in decades!
Oh, and no, I don't have one anymore.
It took me a bit to figure out how to turn the light on! The instructions don't tell you how so I had to mess with it to find out you have to turn the bottom magnification lens around to make contact with the battery terminals and the bulb lites up there is no switch. I must have messed with it for 15-20 min trying to figure it out.
