Man times have changed. This thing is so cheap but well made and easy to use. Sadly for my personal use i should have started at 20X

I bought these to check my trichomes near harvest time. If you know what those are then this will mean more to you. I have one that is similar but does not go to the 120 power this one does, which really makes it easy to view things at the right level needed. It was also much easier to detect mold, fungus and spider mites at the higher power which came in handy for me this year. The light stays on when it's pressed which is nice compared to my last one I had which required you to hold the button down while trying to get it in the right position and adjust it all at the same time. It takes a bit getting used to since it kind of moves in reverse when you are viewing things. It's hard to explain, but it just takes some getting used to is all. And when viewing at the higher power it sort of exacerbates the situation. It works better if you just take a clipping from the plant and set it on a piece of white paper. But you can use it right at the plant too if you have a steady hand. Works much better than a jewelers loupe, although they have their purpose. Seems well made out of pretty dense plastic, so I suspect it will last a long time. Probably has many normal everyday uses too, so having it around could come in handy for other things. Well made and mostly easy to use and at a very reasonable price point.

My toddler can't get enough of it. He finds new things to look under scope. He has fun with it. Have seen it being used everyday since couple months. It's well made. Handled all the roughness well. Nothing to do but start using it.

This mini microscope is a really cool item and is useful for a lot of different applications where seeing the make up of of an item or substance is important. the LED provide adequate lighting and the unit is compact enough that is can be put into a bag or backpack with not real increase in weight. The view is clear as long as the lenses are kept clean at both ends but may be an issue for those of us who wear glasses, as I do, but I make it work. The controls are, however a little loose and sloppy and I can see that over time and significant use they would simply become worse. The focus knob isn't nearly as sturdy as it should be and letting go of it with your fingers can set it off from where you had initially set it up, so a more precise focus is needed with closer tolerances to that the knob isn't loose or "sloppy" is needed. Also the magnification is somewhat similar to the focus knob, it does it's job, but will get looser over time and needs closer tolerances in it's manufacturing to make it reliable and stays where it is told without the act of letting go of it causing it to move slightly. Other than that it is a great tool and I do recommend it for field use just making you aware that it is what it is and that it will never be a replacement for a true microscope. But if you are looking to have a field microscope in your pocket this is a great way to get it, I do recommend a carrying case for it so that dirt and dust do not get inside of it making the adjusting knobs wear out prematurely, and to prevent being packed with other objects from causing additional sloppiness in the focus and magnification adjusters! I do wish I had bought the microscope with the slide viewing slot in it as this would have expanded it's capabilities for me but might not be necessary for everyone.

Great for pocket science, terrible for assuaging the fears of hypochondriacs. Easy to use; just dial it in like any other microscope. You will need to supply your own slides, however. Zero stability, your hand will jerk it around a bit because it's so light. Would be cool if it had an integrated camera for micro photography. Considering the size of cameras and wifi chips and all that, I bet that'd be both easy and cheap to do these days.

I really hoped this would be a handy little tool, but unfortunately it fell well short of what was advertised. What went wrong: The first red flag was the LED light—not just dim, but not working at all. With no usable illumination, the whole purpose of the product was compromised. The build quality felt flimsy. The housing creaked and shifted when I tried to adjust or handle it, which made the experience feel unstable and cheap. It was difficult to use. The focusing mechanism didn’t move with any smoothness, and aligning the subject was awkward. When I did manage to get something in view, the image was blurry and lacked clarity. The magnification didn’t deliver the crisp detail I was expecting based on the listing. The product didn’t match the description. I was sold on the idea of a portable microscope with solid optics and illumination. What arrived felt like a compromise in every area. What could have been better: A working LED (or at least a warning if the sample unit has light issues). Fixed or solid internal components so the focusing and zoom feel reliable. Sharper optics so that the image clarity actually matches the advertised 60-120x magnification. Better instructions or support to help users get from “unboxed” to “clear view.” Final thoughts: This one was a let-down. If you’re looking for a dependable pocket microscope with working lighting and decent clarity, this product didn’t deliver. I really hope the manufacturer addresses these issues so future buyers don’t feel the same frustration.
