  • Affordable and powerful
Style: Microscope
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

  • Works Well for my Purpose - Nice Bright Light
Style: Microscope
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. ... show more

  • Stellar performance for a reasonable price
Style: Microscope
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

  • Shows a great deal for it's size!
Style: Microscope
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. ... show more

  • Great for activity and curiosity
Style: Microscope
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.
