1. Elizabeth Mott's Thank Me Later Eye Primer which will help make sure that smoky eye (that you spent way longer on than you'd like to admit) actually lasts through the night instead of melting off your face as soon as you walk out the door. Promising review: "So let me start by saying I have used nearly every eyeshadow primer available. From high-end to low — MAC, Lorac, Urban Decay...they don't hold a candle to Thank Me Later. I have very oily skin. I use this primer, and my shadow lasts a full eight hours or more. I could get maybe five or six out of the other brands if I'm lucky. I got this as a sample in my Ipsy bag, and I had to buy the full-size product straight away! I couldn't be happier with my purchase. Thank you, Elizabeth Mott, for finally making a primer that lasts! I love this stuff!" — Melissa Mae Get it from Amazon for $13.99 . 2. And a long-lasting Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray that'll protect all your hard work and prevent it from smudging or fading. 🙌🏼 Honestly the only explanation for this is that it is some magical potion. BuzzFeed shopping editor Jenae Sitzes has this and absolutely loves it, "I first put this setting spray to the test for a wedding that involved taking many trains in and out of Manhattan on a hot day and being in crowded rooms where airflow was ~limited~. As such, I was sweating up a storm, but my makeup looked *flawless* by the time I got home that night — all thanks to this Urban Decay setting spray that I knew after one use I'd be repurchasing. I'm new to setting sprays, so it felt weird at first to spray something *on top* of my carefully crafted makeup look, but it dried in no time without messing anything up. It also didn't feel heavy or sticky on my face — it didn't feel like anything at all, actually — and my makeup looked better than it ever has after hours of wear . (For reference, I have dry, sensitive skin, and it caused me no issues.) Soon after that event, I put it to an even bigger task: surviving sweat, tears, and 12 hours of wear for the Taylor Swift Eras Tour. My makeup look (pictured above) was done by 2 p.m., and thanks to my now highly trusted Urban Decay spray, it stayed completely intact (minus the lipstick I purposefully wiped off while scarfing down post-concert pizza) until the time I got home just after 2 a.m. Here's what it endured during that timespan: multi-leg public transportation to and from the venue, waiting in lines under the blaring sun to get in, multiple meals and drinks, jumping, screaming, and literally full-on crying multiple times during the show. My liquid eyeliner, eyeshadow, non -waterproof mascara, foundation, blush, and even glitter (for the most part) were unfazed, and I owe it all to this setting spray." Get it from Amazon for $17+ (available in two sizes). 3. A beloved-by-the-internet detangling brush to get through any of those extra stubborn tangles *without* pulling out all your hair in the process. Promising review: " I purchased this brush three weeks ago and have used it every day. I like the brush so much I ordered three more for my adult daughters. Not only is the brush gentle on my gray hair, but it also feels like I am giving myself a head massage. Also, I appreciate the wide hand base design. I have rheumatoid arthritis and it is not always easy to grip an ordinary hairbrush. Plus, the brush is easy to clean. It truly glides through my wet hair. " — ANS Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in 10 colors and two-packs). 4. And a leave-in conditioner that will finally detangle your kid's hair without damaging their luscious curls. We know it can be a battle just to have your kid let you brush their hair, so this will help you make the experience less miserable for them (and let's be honest, for you, too). Promising review: "My granddaughters have long curly hair, and this is the first product that actually worked at getting the tangles out! Their hair was soft, and no tears were shed while combing through... which to me is most important! The smell is nice, not overwhelming... overall, this is just a great product, and I will definitely be buying again!" — Danielle Bustamante Get it from Amazon for $7.12+ (available in two sizes and a two-pack). 5. A deeply conditioning hair mask made with castor oil and biotin that'll help bring your hair back from dry and damaged to healthy and hydrated. Bonus: it'll help reduce shedding and breakage! Thank God It's Natural is a Black woman-owned small biz based in Chicago, Illinois that specializes in hair products. This hair mask is designed for all hair types to help repair breakage, heat, and color damage. Read more about how biotin shampoo could help with the fullness of hair at Cleveland Clinic . Promising review: " My scalp felt invigorated after applying . I left the masque on overnight, and when I rinsed the next morning, my scalp felt refreshed and clean. I actually think this product also aided in elongating my curls. My hair looks hydrated as well ! I plan to use it every two weeks." — Dawn M. Get it from Amazon for $17.89 . 6. A beard straightener designed to heat up in just 30 seconds so you can tame your curly mane without wasting any time. Never thought abut straightening your beard before? Try it once, the look will really ~grow~ on you. It has three different heat settings to accommodate different beard thicknesses! Promising review: "Of the three beard straightens I have had, Arkam is by far the best. The cord rotates super easy and stays out of the way. It heats up in seconds which is much faster than the other two. The bristles are made better to prevent burning. As a matter of fact, the bristles are the only part that gets hot. My beard's sides are short while the bottom is long. The Arkam handles both lengths with ease and without burns." — JT Dimmitt Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in two versions). 7. A set of pimple patches that are not only effective but also satisfying. Just place one of these on your pimple, go to bed, and wake up to a drastically smaller pimple — and a satisfying patch full of all the gunk it pulled out. Mighty Patch was created in 2017 by Hero Cosmetics which is a woman-owned and Asian-owned company, founded by current CEO Ju Rhyu. Hero Cosmetics now creates cleansers, toners, pimple patches, and more. Promising review: "I love this product! I am an adult with acne. When new ones pop up, put one of these patches on at night and by the morning the pimple is gone. Poof! It even works to pull out cysts — but you need multiple days for those. I also have really sensitive skin and these don’t bother it one bit. I love these!!" — Rebekah W. Get a 36-count from Amazon for $10.08+ (also available in a 72-count). 8. A tube of Danessa Myricks Beauty's Colorfix Eye, Cheek, and Lip Cream Pigment , which will allow you to get rid of, like, half the products in your makeup bag. This long-wearing, waterproof cream does it all: eyeshadow, lipstick, and blush — that's basically a full face of makeup with one tube. See why one TikToker loves it here ! Danessa Myricks Beauty is a Black woman-owned biz dedicated to creating "a world of beauty for people from all races, ages, and genders." FYI, this product is cruelty-free! Promising review: "This is my first time trying this product, and I absolutely love it. It is transfer-proof, and the color is very vibrant. I used it as a lipstick, eyeliner, and an eyeshadow. I have combination skin, and I have to say I’m pleased with the wearability of this product. Upon applying it, it feels like a cream, but once it dries, it becomes weightless and matte. I really loved this product because I could barely tell I was wearing anything on my face. Usually, I have a hard time finding products that are genuinely transfer-proof, smudge-proof, and weightless. I am so happy I stumbled upon this product. I also have to say that it’s pretty easy to take off as well, depending on what products you use. I used the Garnier waterproof micellar water , and with a few swipes, there was very little smudging, and the product came right off." — whailey Get it from Sephora for $20 (available in 50 colors and three finishes). 9. BestLan Hair Finishing Stick to tame the breakage or baby hairs that never seem to sit in their place. Say goodbye to constantly trying to blow dry them into place or going over the same section 10+ times with your straightener. With a quick swipe, you'll be looking like you spent hours on your hair. Promising review: "I’m in love with this product! I have super curly hair that loves to frizz and now I can let it air dry, put it in a bun with no more flyaways thank God! It really isn’t crunchy at all and surprisingly it’s not greasy at all which is perfect for me with the curly hair! You won’t be sad you bought this!" — Karissa Chavez Get it from Amazon for $5.59+ (available in three styles and multi-packs). 10. Or an edge control gel that works so well, you can go about your day as usual without having to worry about your edges staying in place. Some reviewers even say they last up to three days if they tie their hair up when they sleep! And just a note that you shouldn't feel pressured to lay your edges! For more on this, check out " Just A Friendly PSA That You Don't HAVE To Lay Your Edges Down If You Don't Wanna ." See it in action on TikTok here . Promising review: "I’ve tried so many different products for my two daughters' edges. My 4-year-old daughter has 4c hair. My almost 2-year-old daughter’s hair type is to be determined because she is still growing. But it’s VERY curly. This stuff is the ONLY product I have found that slays their edges and keeps them in place ALL DAY when they are at school playing, climbing, and doing their thing. They live their best lives and their edges don’t move. And it’s great if you’re into doing different types of designs like heart edges, wavy edges, whatever. I do it all, and this product never disappoints. It also is great for holding down the hairs when doing a bun or ponytail. Very sleek look." — Jenna LeBlanc Get it from Amazon for $5.44+ (available in four sizes and multi-packs). 11. A tube of Essence's Lash Princess mascara because idk about you, but the thought of putting on fake lashes every day sounds like ~a lot~ of work, especially when products like this exist and can give you the same look with soo much less effort. Promising review: "I have used every mascara on the planet (not literally, but I have tried dozens) from the most expensive to the least. This little jewel is the best-kept mascara secret ever! Lifts and separates lashes with no clumping, and did you see this price?? Trust me, this is a must-have for any makeup collection. You absolutely can't go wrong with this!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $4.99 (available in black or brown). 12. A cutie octopus-shaped blackhead remover to fit into all the weird crevices on your face to help exfoliate away anything that you can't reach with any of your other tools (or tbh fingernails). Plus, look how stinking cute this is, why wouldn't you want to have this little guy be part of your beauty routine?? Promising review: "First time buying this and didn't know what to expect but I'm most definitely buying it again. My skin has never felt better, and I have the most sensitive skin, and I've had no issues at all." — Melissa Get it from Amazon for $12.50 . 13. A smudge-proof eyeliner stamp that will literally put an end to the constant struggle of trying to get your eyeliner perfectly even. Now you can have perfectly even eyeliner in minutes, which means you can still look ~fab~ even if you have to rush out the door. Watch one TikToker test it out here ! Oh, and it comes with two stamp pens — one for each eye! Promising review: "This eyeliner is so easy to use and makes a perfect winged eyeliner look every time! I saw it on TikTok and I'm glad I tried, it saved me so much time rather than trying to make a winged one myself." — Linds Get a set of two from Amazon for $11.98+ (available in three styles as well as a combo set). 14. An E.l.f putty primer so you can feel confident that the makeup you just spent a lot of time on will actually stay in place all day. Plus this primer is designed to help reduce the appearance of your pores, so your skin will look extra ~smooth~ and hydrated. Promising review: "I was skeptical, but after trying this poreless putty, my mind is forever changed! It shrunk my pores and made them seem like they were gone forever! Apply it and then apply my foundation. It makes my skin feel great! No bad odor, and it doesn't make my skin oily! I will keep using this product!" — Christy Get it from Amazon for $10 . 15. A bottle of One Hit Wonder 10-in-1 leave-in spray that will help solve pretty much all your daily hair struggles — it controls frizz, detangles, smooths, protects against heat, boosts shine, prevents breakage, hydrates, softens, strengthens, conditions — you may as well stock up now, once you use it you're not going to want to go another day without it. To use, spray through damp or dry hair and comb through. The key ingredient in this ~magical~ spray is cannabis sativa seed oil. Mane Club is a small business based in NYC focused on creating vegan and cruelty-free haircare products. **Reviewers with thin, straight say this product works for them as well as reviewers with dry, curly hair. Here's what BuzzFeeder Elizabeth Lilly has to say about this leave-in spray: "I have a very thick head of naturally curly hair and have put it through just about everything, including all kinds of hot tools, at-home dye kits, the gamut of shampoo and conditioner types, basically every dry shampoo and hair oil in existence, and just about anything else to try for a story for you dear readers. Lots of products have either straight-up failed, been meh enough for me to not recommend, or fantastic but so costly that I feel guilty recommending them. Basically, a lot of stuff ends up in the trash or pawned off on my (grateful) friends when it isn't a fit for me. But THIS STUFF. This stuff has become my go-to for spraying on my wet hair and then blow-drying. Normally I'd apply a heat protector and an oil treatment or leave-in conditioner before blow drying. But this 10-in-1 treatment takes the cake! Most of the time when I use it, I don't even need to finish off my hair with hair oil (I've been doing that as an essential hair step for years now). It's really that good! Here, I have freshly blow dried hair with just this post-shower using this Amika blow-dryer brush . This brush is fantastic on its own but this spray-on treatment has more or less doubled this brush's effectiveness. My hair comes out feeling softer, looking shinier and healthier, and stays looking good for days — which is especially great news because I wash my hair about every four days. 'Tis time for me to unload a bunch of hair products I now no longer need to my friends." Get it from Amazon for $9.95 . 16. Or a volcanic stone face roller because let's be honest, you've been out and about before, seen your face in a mirror or reflection and genuinely asked yourself how your face looks so ✨shiny.✨ Well, now when that happens you can just whip this bad boy out of your purse and put an end to the shine with a quick swipe. Promising review: "First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it . I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. Not only is it affordable, but it's also washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful. It felt like the holy grail had been delivered to my front doorstep. After my first use, I was in love. Now, it doesn't pick up everything but it does make it more matte and gives you a natural look. I am so excited this product exists and I already feel more confident." — Kelsey B. Get it from Amazon for $9.45 . 17. A handheld high-frequency skin therapy wand that uses neon so you can get a boujee spa facial treatment in the comfort of your home *without* the hefty price tag. It's designed to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, target blemishes, and improve the absorption of creams and serums you use after the treatment. Nearly 15,000 people rated this five stars, including a bunch of estheticians , so you know it's the real deal!! Promising review: "I’ve been meaning to write a review for a long time. This thing has been a complete game changer and life changer in some ways. I know that after using this machine at night, my skin will always look better in the morning. I used to have really spotty-looking acne scars on both cheeks all over. This machine has completely transformed my skin, and where there are only three or four scars left as of now. Been using it pretty consistently for about two months. The thing is that you have to be consistent with it as its purpose is to get your cells to REGENERATE BRAND NEW silky soft skin cells through its technology. As WELL as killing all the bacteria on your skin. Which is why it’s also so good for acne-prone skin. AND scarring. It’s just a win-win-win all the way around. M y skin hasn’t looked this good in years or felt this soft and smooth in literally years, and I am so happy I found this device!!!!! I’m a believer for life 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼." — Emily Heater Get it from Amazon for $69.46 (also available in a professional version and clinical version ). 18. A tinted blush oil to give your cheeks a lil' pop of color whether you're doing up a full face or going for a more ~natural~ vibe. Youthforia is an Asian woman-owned small business established in 2020 that specializes in environmentally friendly, cruelty-free makeup made with at least 90% renewable ingredients. Fun fact: All of Youthforia's makeup is designed with ingredients that are perfectly safe for your skin if you sleep with it on! Former BuzzFeed Shopping editor Ciera Velarde has this and says, "I actually have all three shades of this, and it's become the only blush I use! I especially love it in the winter because I feel like it actually hydrates my face instead of drying me out like powder blushes can. I especially like the "But Tonight" shade (the darker, brown color) for everyday use because it gives me a warm glow similar to bronzer, and when I'm looking for a fun pop of color, I'll throw on Let's Go Party (the bright pink color). A little goes a long way with this product, so just dab a few dots on your cheeks, and then use your fingers or a brush to blend it out." Get it from Amazon or Youthforia for $36 (available in three shades). 19. Press-on nails that'll give you a ~gorgeous~ mani in under 10 minutes. Who needs overpriced salon visits or artistic abilities when you can just peel and stick these bad boys on?! BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly has this and says, "I'm quite adept at painting my own nails (the only time I get a professional manicure is when I want gel before going on vacation), but these press-on nails have me feeling super lazy about painting my nails because they're so easy to use! And that's OK! Each set costs you less than 10 bucks and rather than fool with a bottle of nail glue that ends up anywhere but the nails, each nail has a peel-off plastic that reveals a super sticky surface you press onto your real nail. I find that all the nails stay on about three days when I do stuff like hand-wash my dishes, pet glorious dogs, and scratch many layers of dry shampoo on my scalp. You'll get 30 nails with each set, which helps you find the right sizes BUT I've also found comes in handy when a pointer or middle finger nail pops off (those are the first to go in my experience) so I end up getting about a week's use of wear out of each nail set. Friends have seen me with the nails on and all have believed they're the real deal!" Get them from Amazon for $8.49 (available in six designs and multi-packs). 20. A super-soft MakeUp Eraser to remove A L L your makeup by just adding water...yes, even waterproof makeup. How does it make sense? IDK maybe it's magic, but whatever it is, it *works.* Promising review: "I am amazed by this product. I would even say that this is life-altering! I have not had to buy makeup remover in three months and don't believe I will ever have to again! When I used makeup remover, I felt like I could never get all of my makeup off and I had to rub my eyes quite a bit to get it off. Even after a lot of rubbing when using makeup remover I still would wake up the next morning with makeup residue from the previous day and I never felt I could completely get my makeup off. With MakeUp Eraser, there is not one bit of makeup left!! It is like magic!! Make sure you follow directions, you have to use warm water and use the correct side!" — Sprklbuz Get it from Amazon for $13+ (available in eight colors/patterns). Check out BuzzFeed's review of the MakeUp Eraser for more deets! 21. Or Juno & Co.'s Clean 10 Cleansing Balm that'll make removing your makeup easy as can be. (Yup, even waterproof mascara doesn't stand a chance!) It features Japanese pearl barley, which melts into your skin to hydrate while cleansing away impurities. Juno & Co. is a small business focused on moving away from the traditional beauty market to sustainable and simplified formulas. Promising review: "I LOVE THIS PRODUCT!!!! I found it on TikTok, and OMG!! It works so well. I don't have to sit there and rub the crap out of my eyelashes to get the waterproof mascara off. I will admit it doesn't take 100% of the makeup off, but about 95% of my makeup comes off. It is not water-resistant, as emulsifying it with water helps take the makeup off. I have not found a better makeup remover, and yes, that includes micellar water (which also works well but leaves my skin feeling oily). With this cleansing balm, my face feels hydrated and smooth. LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!!!!!! 1,000/10 would recommend!!!" — Deetje Frederick Get it from Amazon for $11.99 . 22. A fabulous lip-plumping gloss set to create absolutely luscious lips for anyone who likes the look of lip fillers but not the price or commitment. You're probably gonna have to apologize to your friend who just got filler done before you discovered this product. You'll get one lip plumper and one minty sleeping mask for your lips. Promising review: "I discovered this product from TikTok and I had to give it a try. I tried the day lip plumper and within a few seconds, there was a subtle tingling/burning that lasted for a few minutes but as it occurred, the plumping started to happen! It made a noticeable difference and made my lips look like I had filler ! I'm obsessed!! — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $9.98 . 23. A color corrector that is a ~magical~ pen to help neutralize dark spots and circles under your eyes and on your lips and cheeks. Just color this on underneath your foundation or concealer and watch that hyperpigmentation *boom* disappear. Live Tinted is a South Asian woman-owned small biz that specializes in clean, vegan, cruelty-free beauty products for all skin tones. Promising review : "I can't believe I've lived without this product for so long! This is SOOOO much better than the concealers I've used in the past because it really covers up my dark circles . This product is a staple in my makeup routine! Can't live without this!" — Undisclosed Get it from Ulta for $26 (available in six shades) or from Amazon for $24 (available in four shades). 24. L'Oréal Paris Infallible Fresh Powder Foundation that is literally witchcraft in a compact — it promises up to 24 hours of transfer- and sweat-resistant wear all while providing a mattifying, smooth, flawless complexion... even after a *full* day of activities. Promising review: " I have purchased this three times in the color Sienna, and it is perfect! Totally worth all the hype on TikTok. This is a very emollient powder that sticks to the skin. I prep with sunscreen and then use this. The fragrance dissipates quickly. I noticed the actual powder is bouncy to the touch. Have not used the pelican or sponge it comes with. I like to use a powder brush . It gives me full coverage, and I look flawless all day. I also don’t need to blot. And I am very oily. Will certainly continue to repurchase. This is the best powder I have tried since Mac Studio Fix ." — Maria Webba Get it from Amazon for $7.49+ (available in 19 shades). 25. An extremely easy-to-use and downright magical spray that'll help you stretch the time between hair appointments. Salons are expensive enough, you shouldn't have to go in every three weeks just because a few greys popped up. Although, gray hair is honestly pretty fierce, so feel free to let those silvery strands shine ! Promising review: "I use this in between my monthly 'cut and color' trips to the beauty salon. That third week really shows the grey roots, so I use this until my next appointment. A few sprays along the hairline and part, and I am ready to go. It will stay for a couple of days if you don't have to wash your hair daily. Otherwise, it will wash right out with your shampoo. The red that I buy is a more auburn color and gives a great look to my hair. I buy this on a regular basis. One can last about 10 applications of touch-ups for me." — Jean Get it from Amazon for $10.42+ (available in 11 colors and a pack of two). 26. A bottle of Blume's Meltdown Acne Oil to help combat acne-prone skin while still keeping your face moisturized. Use it directly on your face, or mix it in with your daily moisturizer and watch your skincare woes disappear. ✨ Don't worry, this is safe for sensitive skin *and* can be worn under your makeup. See why one TikToker is a fan here ! Blume is a BIPOC-, woman-, and family-owned small biz based in Vancouver that makes cruelty-free, vegan, and environmentally-friendly skincare in snazzy packaging. Promising review: "This oil is the closest thing to a 'cure' for breakouts that I have ever used! I have struggled my entire life with breakouts and have even been on Accutane three times. Since I’ve begun using Meltdown Oil, not only do I rarely get an outbreak, but if I do, it clears immediately with the application of the oil on the spot(s). This is the 'holy grail' for acne sufferers." — Pam S. Get it from Amazon or Blume for $28+ (available in two sizes). 27. A foundation brush designed to blend both liquid and powder makeup to give you that flawless base. Reviewers love it because unlike other brushes it doesn't absorb (and waste!) half the product instead of blending it on your face. Plus, it comes with a case! Check out a TikTok of the brush in action. Promising review: "I saw this on TikTok. I’m a middle-aged woman, so it’s difficult for me to admit that. I. LOVE. IT! It gives a flawless finish with little product. I have a compact foundation that comes with its own applicator sponge. I almost threw it out because I didn’t like the coverage. I tried this brush with it, and it’s perfect! It also comes in a plastic case, which is great because I travel a lot with my work, and my other brushes get damaged sometimes." — Thayel M. Caison Get it from Amazon for $5.94+ (available in 12 colors). 28. A Heatless Hair Curler to give you amazingly bouncy curls with no damage because there is no heat!! And it does its best work while you sleep! This heatless curler comes as a set, so you'll also get two matching silk scrunchies and a hair clip with purchase! The curler is also made with satin to help prevent tangled hair. Promising review: " I could not be more obsessed with this. I have stick-straight hair, and I'm a new mom. I love feeling glam but have about seven minutes to get ready every morning. I put these in when I go to sleep at night...They're comfy and only take two minutes to put in. And when I wake up, I pull them out in 15 seconds, mist with hairspray and I have bouncy curls for the rest of the day. Works better than curling iron for me!" — nikki liu Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in five colors/patterns). 29. A Maybelline multi-use concealer that can not only conceal, but contour and correct as well. It works so well, even your friends who were out with you all night will think you got like 10 hours of sleep. This concealer provides you with 12 hours of moisture and medium coverage. Promising review: "As its name implies, this product erases discolorations of the skin or dark circles under the eyes. I use this product every day to give my skin a more even tone and to get rid of those dark spots and circles on my face that come with age. An added perk is that the product also moisturizes, so it's a 2-in-1 tool. It is lightweight and yet provides total coverage of skin imperfections. Love this product!!" — Jessica Get it from Amazon for $7.56+ (available in 22 shades). 30. A Crease Piece creation kit to help you effortlessly create a cut crease (which is basically just adding contrast to your eyeshadow look). It may sound complicated, but with this little guy it's not — just hold it up to your eye, swipe on your eyeshadow, and you'll end up looking like Patrick Ta did your makeup for you! Crease Piece is a woman-owned small business founded by Brittney Foley after she went viral for using a spoon to create a cut crease . Since a spoon doesn't work for every eye shape, she decided to create the Crease Piece, which has three different-shaped sets that work for more people. The kit comes with one handle, one round crease set, one almond crease set, and one wing crease set. Check out a TikTok of the Crease Piece in action!

The Celestron PentaView LCD digital microscope has been a joy to review, and we loved being able to use it as a whole class. Pupils have learned so much, thanks to its multiple viewing and image projection capabilities, and have found it a fabulous tool for collaborative work. Head: 180-degree rotating LCD module with touch-screen monitor Eyepieces: Digital camera provides 10X magnification Objective lenses: 4X, 10X, 20X, 40X and 60X Stage: Mechanical stage with XY navigation Light source: Adjustable 6V LED and toplight Condenser: N.A. 0.65 Focusing: Dual (coarse and fine) Extras: AC adapter, USB cable, AV/TV cable, 8GB SD card, touch pen, 10 prepared slides, dust cover, hard carry case, adjustable diaphragm with built-in RGB filters Add-ons: Celestron have a range of prepared slides and insect specimens Celestron has designed the PentaView LCD with a wealth of professional touches, such as high magnification, XY stage navigation, adjustable dual lighting and a very stylish and durable carry case. It has also been great to be able to photograph and video tissues and live specimens, both in the laboratory and during fieldwork. Celestron PentaView at Amazon for $465.59 Overall, the Celestron PentaView LCD digital microscope has been great fun to experiment with, and a fantastic addition to our microscopy suite. We highly recommend it for use in schools and at home. The best microscopes for kids are wonderful learning tools for budding young scientists, and older children and students would benefit more from the best microscopes for students . Celestron PentaView LCD Digital Microscope Design LCD monitor allows multiple viewers High magnification Multiple professional features The PentaView LCD digital microscope by Celestron has been designed with many professional features that allow for high magnification images, still and moving, to be viewed, captured and projected to multiple observers simultaneously. This facilitates a high level of collaborative group work in the lab, in the classroom or in the field, and enhances the teaching and learning experience hugely. Although the PentaView does not have an eyepiece lens, the LCD screen provides 10X magnification. The rotating nosepiece has space for four of the five objective lenses that come with this microscope. The fifth, 60X objective lens can be exchanged with any of the others easily, by way of a simple screw fitting. Thus, 600X magnification is achieved. The digital 4X zoom function increases the magnification further, to 2,400X. Other professional features include an XY mechanical stage with a sturdy side clip; this allows the slide to be held securely in place, then navigated in horizontal and vertical planes, enabling you to explore the specimen systematically without needing to touch it. The PentaView also has two sources of illumination: one at the bottom to shine light up through the slide and another at the top, an adjustable spotlight that illuminates the stage and slide from above. Both lights are dimmable, and the two can be used at the same time. Additionally, the rotating diaphragm disc also houses three filters, red, green and blue, to enhance images if required. Designed with group viewing and photography firmly in mind, the LCD digital screen, with SD card and USB lead, transformed this microscope into an educator's dream tool. We loved being able to demonstrate how to prepare a cell slide, then use the digital LCD screen to talk through what could be seen during the navigation and focusing set-up processes. We were then able to photograph a model example and project it onto a Chromebook, using the USB cable, then use the Chromebook’s casting technology to send it to our Smartboard. Similarly, video footage of microorganisms in pond water was captured, cast and viewed by groups of excited pupils as well. Finally, the portability of the PentaView is also worth noting. The microscope is reasonably lightweight, so can be carried by adults and older children. It can also be powered by batteries, so you can use it outdoors or in locations without a power source. The projecting function remains possible in the field when combined with a laptop. Furthermore, the PentaView comes with a delightful carry case. It is rigid, yet light and attractive. There is a choice of handle or body strap, so it is comfortable to carry. Performance High magnification Decent resolution Captures and projects still and moving images The Celestron PentaView LCD digital microscope is on the cusp of performing brilliantly. It is capable of high magnification: 2,400X is much higher than most reasonably priced light microscopes. However, this performance is not matched by a respective high resolution. Similarly, although the PentaView is capable of photographing still and moving images, it does not allow the streaming of moving images in real-time. When considering increased magnification, we expect the field of view to reduce, subcellular structures to enlarge and resolution to increase also. The first two patterns were noticed when moving up through the range of objective lenses of the Celestron PentaView and with the digital zoom. As expected, resolution improved with higher magnification lenses. At 40X magnification, we observed a mass of onion cells separated by a dark boundary. The cytoplasm was seen as yellow, due to staining with iodine, and the nuclei appeared as dark brown circles. By the time the magnification had increased to 400X, although the image appeared to be somewhat grainy, the cell edges could be defined as multi-layered, and fine focusing allowed the cellulose cell wall to display a textured, fibrous appearance. We could also differentiate the outer edge of the nuclei, the nuclear membrane, as well as bodies within the cytoplasm that could have been mitochondria or other sub-cellular vesicles. However, when switching to the digital zoom, even though the viewable image enlarged as the field of view reduced, there was no further improvement in resolution. We did manage to improve the clarity of some of the high-powered images by experimenting with the colored filters. Unfortunately, the variable light function was not as useful when compared to a light microscope because the LCD screen made automatic adjustments for optimum viewing brightness. We can see how this might be useful for beginners, but as professionals, we wanted to be able to override this and make luminosity decisions for ourselves. Pleasingly, the LCD display on the Celestron PentaView provided highly engaging demonstration capabilities, in real time. The whole class of 18 pupils were able to see the 109mm monitor and learn how to navigate through the Z plane layers, ignoring slide and coverslip scratches and fluff to identify the cheek cells of interest, and how to use XY navigation to locate groups of cheek cells, increasing magnification to focus on whole cells and their visible organelles. Real-time viewing was paramount when observing pond life as living creatures were continually moving and feeding. The PentaView’s limitations became apparent, however, when larger audiences were present. The small screen was no longer adequate for good visibility, andcasting was only possible for still images or videos, rather than real-time streaming. Functionality Excellent for demonstrations Images can be enlarged to screen size Can be used for field studies The Celestron PentaView digital microscope comes into its own when used to enhance the learning experience, using its group viewing capabilities as a demonstration tool. Pupils’ ability to conceptualize the topic material advanced to a greater extent and more quickly upon witnessing what could be achieved with the PentaView digital microscope. What’s more, their microscopy skills developed more rapidly as well. Being able to link the monitor directly to a laptop and Smartboard amplified this functionality even further. It is just a shame that the screen cannot stream live imagery to the Smartboard. This would enable larger audiences to watch demonstrations in a lecture theater or auditorium, for example. Nonetheless, we were all of the same mind: that the PentaView’s teaching functionality is magnificent. However, the grainy imagery left professionals feeling that it wouldn’t be the microscope of choice for industrial microscopy. Many light and compound microscopes in a similar price range produced images with more clarity and higher resolution. Interestingly, within the classroom, pupils were not aware of this limitation and were perfectly happy enjoying what the PentaView had to offer. Because of its portability, the Celestron PentaView was used both on location and in the classroom. It was great to see pupils collaborating so well. The ability to watch the amoeba and other pond life as a group, rather than having to take turns, enhanced pupil engagement and enthusiasm all round. The microscope was lightweight and the carry case had a very comfortable shoulder strap and rigid top handle. When considering some of the more professional design features, though, the Celestron PentaView falls short in a couple of important areas. The top light is included in many microscopes to make the examination of solid objects possible. Unfortunately, on the PentaView, this light is not very powerful and the working distance is small. These factors restrict the size and type of solid objects that can be viewed, and we wouldn’t recommend it for this purpose. Furthermore, there was a quality control issue with the XY navigation knobs. When attempting to maneuver the stage backwards and forwards in the Y plane, the knob span in its casing, without moving the slide. We tightened the knob a few times to temporarily resolve the problem. Unfortunately, the thread became so loose that this mechanism became unusable. Eventually, we discovered that we could apply a small force manually, while turning the knob, to achieve the desired movement. Annoyingly though, this affected our ability to focus whilst navigating, as we only have one pair of hands! A final improvement suggestion, to increase functionality, is to be able to override the light adjustment setting. If we vary the LED output, it needs to affect the final image on the LCD monitor. Should you buy it? ✅ You would like to demonstrate to a large audience: The LCD screen can easily be viewed directly by up to around 20 people. By projecting photos and videos, you could increase this tenfold. ✅ You would like to photograph your specimens: The digital camera and SD card allow you to capture both still and moving images. Overall, the Celestron PentaView LCD digital microscope has been a great addition to our microscopy suite. Fantastic for group work and demonstrations, we would highly recommend it to aid teaching. It has been great fun to experiment with for teachers and pupils alike. The Celestron PentaView is a decent, affordable, digital microscope that advanced our teaching and learning experience hugely. If you want a microscope capable of demonstrating to a large audience, high magnification and the ability to photograph and video your specimens without breaking the bank, this could be the ideal microscope for you. If the product is not for you ❌ You would like to examine solid specimens: You would need a digital magnifying visualizer for this. ❌ You want to also view your specimens ocularly: You would need a trinocular microscope with a camera tube port. For a trinocular microscope with a camera function, Swift does the SW380T compound trinocular with up to 2,500X magnification. We thought it was a pleasure to use during our Swift SW280T review . If you would like to magnify and project solid objects, Celestron does the MicroDirect 1080P handheld digital microscope . This captures photographs and video directly onto an SD card and doesn’t need a computer to project to a screen. How we tested the Celestron PentaView LCD digital microscope During a science lesson, pupils prepared and observed cheek and onion cells. By using the Celestron PentaView, we were able to project previously captured images onto the smartboard, so that pupils knew what they should be looking for; we then used the model examples to navigate the cells and pick out organelles to the whole class simultaneously. This technique was used frequently during the microscopy topic, and pupils' competence and understanding progressed more quickly than that of previous groups. Later, pupils were able to observe and video living organisms when carrying out pond studies. Because of its portability, the Celestron PentaView was carried outside, in its beautiful carry case, and samples were pipetted onto slides directly. Back in the classroom, pupils also had fun examining the prepared slides that came with this microscope.Healthcare to be a fundamental right under new constitution

Saturday, November 23, attended Tito Rutaremara's 80th birthday celebration, joining the veteran politician's family and friends. Rutaremara, who is fondly called Mzee Tito, is a former Senator and Ombudsman. The veteran politician is among the founders of the Rwandese Alliance for National Unity (RANU), the political movement founded in 1979, which later became the Rwanda Patriotic Front (RPF-Inkotanyi) in 1987. The RPF/Army launched the war to liberate Rwanda in 1990 seeking the return of Rwandan refugees and in 1994, they stopped the Genocide against the Tutsi.

Born in 1944 in Gatsibo, in former Kibungo territory, in today's Eastern Province, Rutaremara fled Rwanda with his family after the 1959 pogroms that targeted the Tutsi. Young Rutaremara, who had attended primary school in Gatsibo and left Rwanda when he was in the second year of secondary school at College St Andre, continued his studies in Uganda. He later went to Europe for university studies.

It is still a journey. Of course, in some areas we have achieved high results and in others, not yet, but we are yet to get where we want to be, Rutaremara said. He believes that Rwandan youth must take over the liberation baton to continue to develop the country. He also believes that Rwanda's leadership with Paul Kagame as President has a good vision for the country. We have got a very good visionary leader who sees further than anyone can see, who knows how to organise and mobilise people, Rutaremara said, reflecting on President Kagame's development vision.", "author": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Moise M.
