This is a review for the MicroBrite Plus 60x-120x (MM-300) from Carson Optical. The MicroBrite MM-300 is just the ticket for gardening and exploring. It's lightweight but substantial and has a nice, solid feel. Like all of the more powerful small scopes, you need to tinker with it a bit to get the best magnification, and at the highest magnification you will also benefit by being still. I've used more expensive scopes and several natural light scopes over the years, and this LED light scope puts them to shame. The results are excellent from full sunlight to dark. The grip is quite ergonomic for such a small device. You can use the focusing ring with the same hand you're holding it with, and you'll need to use your non-dominant hand to adjust the zooming dial when needed. The LED switch is perfectly located for a quick press of the thumb. This handheld is also perfect for those of us who choose to avoid button batteries. I wanted an AA battery device because our local stores are often out of the button battery I need. The battery compartment opens easily and the single battery can be accessed in a snap. (AA battery not included). There is an indent on the top to weave in a lanyard thread. It's portable but not really pocket-sized unless you stow it in a cargo-type pocket. It's about the size of a deck of cards and twice as thick. I keep it in my gardening apron pocket, in my birding vest pocket, or around my neck with a lanyard. When it's on the lanyard I use it more often just because it's there. It's useful and fun. Whether you're looking at a praying mantis casing, diagnosing spider mites, checking herb for readiness, or exploring the micro world with kids, this is an excellent portable microscope for the money. If this review was helpful to you in any way, I would appreciate it if you'd please check "yes" below. Thanks! ... show more

    • This is no toy, but it's a lot of fun!
Item Package Quantity: 1 Style: MicroBrite (MM-300)
I bought this mini microscope for a gift for our 6yo nephew. I was blown away at how powerful and clear the image is. My fiancée and I played with it for an hour- running around looking at things from all over the house and yard under it. We were blown away by the magnification and how well the LED light works to create a bright clear image. We found most little things looked best when placed on an opaque, matte black background like construction paper. But, the LED is so bright you can look at just about anything anywhere and get incredible views. We loved it so much we bought a second one for another nephew. Both nephews loved it and I'm the "Cool" uncle now. :) ... show more

    • Very good; would be more useful if it had a base and slide holder.
Item Package Quantity: 1 Style: MicroBrite (MM-300)
I bought both this produc Carson MicroBrite Plus 60x-120x Power LED Lighted Pocket Microscope (MM-300)] and the lower magnification sibling [[ASIN:B000Z3A8UY Carson MicroBrite 20x-40x LED Lighted Pocket Microscope for Learning, Education and Exploring (MM-24, MM-24MU) ]. Both are inexpensive and good, and overall, I'm happy with them. This model has several features that make it better than the 20-40x model, including: 1) focus on a dial knob, easy to use (the other model has the focus on a twisting lever) 2) the light stays on (the other model requires the user to keep pressing the light button) 3) AA battery lasts longer than the small button LR44 batteries used in the other model However, this model lacks a base and does not have a glass slide holder; the other model has both. Unfortunately, the removable base of the 20-40x model does not fit this model. To me, the lack of a base is a big deal because this being a higher magnification (60-100x), it is much harder to keep an object in place. The scope may be useful to look at prepared slides, but unless you have a very stead hand, it will be hard to observe the slide (or anything else) for a long time without moving the scope. The image quality is also surprisingly good for an inexpensive microscope. Overall, it is a good investment, but I think I will be using the lower magnification model more often in the field than this one because of the lack of a base. Also, the higher magnification limits the range of objects that one is likely to find; it is more useful to study microscope slides or other specialized use. I am a researcher and use research microscopes; I bought both to see if they could be used on college level field trips, such as my Invertebrate Zoology class; I think would be very useful, especially the 20-40x model. This one is more useful to look at prepared slides, like the ones in my Parasitology class; although we already have real microscopes in the lab, the 60-100x scope may be useful to do a quick check on a slide while another student is at the real microscope. Suggestion for the manufacturer: make both 20-40x and the 60-100x models with the same profile, so that they can use the same removable base, or add a similar base to the 60-100x model. This scope makes a good companion and complements its little sibling, the 20-40x scope. I recommend buying both to a child who is interested in sciences (if buying only one, I would recommend the other model as the a first microscope). ... show more

    • This little thing is really incredible.
Item Package Quantity: 1 Style: MicroBrite + Smartphone Clip (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. ... show more

    • So Much Fun!
Item Package Quantity: 1 Style: MicroBrite (MM-300)
I absolutely LOVE this! I am not a professional in any field but I really like to look at what's beneath the mere magnifier---and magnifiers do not show everything. It does need a battery for the light, tho, it does make science so much more fascinating and fulfilling! It can be fitted into a pocket or a small handbag. Take it with you when you go camping! ... show more
