Carson MicroBrite Portable Digital Pocket Microscope for Kids or Adults, Accurate 60x-120x Zoom, Handheld Microscope with Phone Clip & Smartphone App (MM-350)

You should just buy it. It's affordable and it works beautifully. I will say you will see things you may have not ever thought you'd see or wanted to see. It's amazing though. The clip to attach it to your phone is a little bit of a pain but it's probably user error though. It takes a little fiddling to get it down but no big deal once you have it in hand. My husband says he should have never bought it bc I'm a tad bit OCD and you'll soon realize what you may have thought to be clean.... Is only clean to the naked eye. It was something I had to accept. Just buy it it's really cool and not expensive. Really fun to use as well.

Wonderful product! Easy setup, great visibility, easy connectivity and compatability, and very funtional! Grands have spent hours enjoying and learning with this!

Great toy for looking at stuff on the go. More so, and much easier to use than a traditional microscope with slides etc. My son would run around at look at grass leaved fiber on cloth.... It was a very free form toy for him. This is not a cellular level microscope that magnification isn't that high. Its reasonable tough. I wouldn't chick it at a wall but it will survive floor and outside drops. The built in light was bright even indoors (its doubled as a flashlight a few times) and the focus physically setting it on something was very clear. I'd honestly get one as an adult for things things that interest me on a hiking or fishing trip.

Ok this is a must buy. As a homeschooling family we looked at our options for purchasing a microscope for upper elementary/middle school ages. Nothing too serious, just to learn and play. I. So happy I went with pocket MicroBrite Pro Microscope and smartphone clip. First, it's way way way cheaper than a standard microscope. It also takes minutes to put something under it, play with the lenses and see something clear. The bonus: you can put your phone right over the lens with the phone clip and take awesome fun pictures of your discoveries. My kids fight over who has it and we are all so excited at what we discover and see. Don't hesitate. And best news: it drops, you lose it, it gets damaged? Well, its less than $20 to replace. Win win!

This product is hard to focus and if you wear glasses it is not user friendly, the Phone clip is a nice gesture for glasses wearers however my phone Google Pixel 9 Pro XL kept switching camera lenses so it would not pick up the image, most importantly I was only able to focus the image TWICE AFTER OPENING PACKAGE. Don't be fooled

This thing is great!

This pocket microscope did not work well for me. I ended up buying a loupe instead. Optical quality was okay, but I wear glasses, and I found the microscope difficult to use.

This microscope is really good. I bought two because I saw several reviews that were very positive, so I decided to get them. I ordered the package that comes with the phone holder. These microscopes are really good for the price because they allow you to see things up close and with very good quality. The phone holder could definitely be a bit more robust since my phone is quite light (I have a Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus) and it works fine, but any other slightly heavier phone might not be ideal for using it. I've observed all kinds of things, and since I'm a mycologist who loves studying mushrooms in nature, this little device is perfect for my use. Some people have left negative reviews, but that's only because they don't understand how the microscope works. For example, some people say it doesn't focus properly, but that's because they obviously don't know how to use the dial to adjust the focus. There are also others who even complain because the image is upside down—duh! Anyone who knows how lenses work knows that the image will always be upside down with this type of device. So, to anyone reading this review, I recommend trying these microscopes because they are really good, and I recommend them 100%. 1st image: The pores of a Reishi Mushroom Video: Green mold growing in a grain of rice I must say that what you see in the videos doesn't compare to what you are going to see with your own eye.

Requires some skill to use. Could be difficult for a small kid, if it's a bit difficult for an adult like me with no microscopic experience. Otherwise, it's great.

Das Mikroskop ist gut verarbeitet und bietet eine erstaunliche Vergrößerung. Aber genau hier liegt der Haken: es wird oft für die Verwendung der Kontrolle der Trichome von Cannabis empfohlen. Doch durch die hohe Vergrößerungsleistung ist genau das nur sehr schlecht möglich. Aus der freien Hand kann man nur sehr sehr schwer ein scharfes Bild erhalten. Und selbst wenn sind dann nur so wenige Trichome gleichzeitig zu sehen, dass keine gute quantitative Aussage getroffen werden kann. Eine andere, leicht schwächere Lupe wäre besser. Trotzdem 5 Sterne, da das Produkt eine tolle Leistung für den Preis bietet.

Bello e facile da usare. Certo è un prodotto economico, ma non è un giocattolo e permette di osservare bene il campione in esame. Bello.

Recipient has fun with it and it seems to work well. The phone clip poses a little problem.

Perfeito. Da para ver direitinho, tanto direto no microscópio como com o uso de celular para aumentar a tela. Obs. O app não funciona para celulares antigos, só os atuais. Comprado para criança adquirir maior conhecimento com a parte de ciências/biologia.
