    • This does the job and it cost dang near nothing for great quality
Size: 1 Style: MicroBrite + Smartphone Clip (MM-350)
Glad I read reviews on this I almost didn’t get it because of how small it was. Works amazingly! I can pop it in my sweater pocket or my bag. I can see clearly as well. I bought this just to doodle around with my plants and random things outside due to my adult but child like curiosity lol.

    • Great microscope

When I first saw the microscope out of the box I was a little skeptical to be honest. But I also got the sample slides and was quickly amazed by how nice and clear the images are. I've added a couple for anyone to review. I also got the phone clip and it works good. I've even been able to gather things from outside and look at them under a microscope and didn't have any issue with it being blurry. I would suggest that if you are using it, maybe watch some YouTube videos or remember some of the biology class lessons. I like to place anything I'm looking at on a white plate. That way the light on the microscope can clearly highlight what I'm trying to see and have not had any issues with it yet. Using the phone clip makes it a lot easier to share with my little one so that you don't have to worry about the microscope moving around as much ... show more

    • works great, for flat things you can lay flat
Size: 1 Style: MicroBrite + Smartphone Clip (MM-350)
i purchased this to get info on living plant, which its REALLY difficult to keep the clip on camera (iphone 15) and manage the focus, AND line it up.. Really cool to look at fabrics and pennies, but not so much flower.. When you DO manage to get a good view, the images are nice, quality with only SOME points having glare from light. ... show more

I got these as stocking stuffers for my youngest daughters, and was shocked at how well they work for their price! They really do a great job, and everyone, even our teens, enjoys using these microscopes to look at things! I have added pictures of the edge of a strawberry leaf, a cracked brown eggshell, and salt as seen through the microscope. ... show more

    • Shows a great deal for it's size!
Size: 1 Style: MicroBrite (MM-300)
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

    • So surprisingly good!!!
Size: 4 Style: MicroBrite + Smartphone Clip (MM-350)
I do not write a lot of reviews. We homeschool and bought the 4 pack. I am SO amazed at the picture quality!!! We’ve had nice big microscopes and some ok quality ones and this trumps all for ease of use!! The children and I all really enjoy it. It’s easy to toss in your pocket and take outside ( which is done with caution). It is light and doesn’t feel like it would pack a punch but it does. We caught a flea and could see the blood in its mouth and stuff moving inside its body and its “eye?” Twitching. Completely worth the price and I am referring this to all the homeschool people!!!! ... show more

    • Works great for plants after adjusting right.
Size: 4 Style: MicroBrite (MM-300)
Have used around 20 magnifiers through the years for plant trichones. From loupe to digital. Almost all a complete waste of money. This is the best and easiest to use for the money. I read a lot of operator error and this is how I adjust. Get a white piece of 95 brightness copy paper with some bold black laser printing. Now line up on edge of a letter and adjust BOTH adjusters starting at top one. Go back and forth couple times. When you get it perfect for your eyes it should not need adjusting again. Lay object to view on another 95 brightness paper . If higher than paper you can now adjust moving whole magnifier up and down and should not have to adjust magnifier again. I had one but now got the 4 pack. My wife has hers marked and adjusted. I would have one for each viewer adjusted a head of time or you will try your patience going back and forth. I have a spare and two Xmas presents that will be well received for a few bucks over other expensive gifts. ... show more

    • Handy little scope
Size: 1 Style: MicroBrite (MM-300)
It is really hard to hold this steady without some sort of stand, and impossible to focus it without a stand to steady it. I use an old soldering vice which is a bit overkill for a stand, but with that I can focus and get a very clear image. Reasonable width of view for the magnification and size. The light is very handy and I use it regularly for evaluating the burr when sharpening knives. Definitely a good tool for that. I bought the phone interface accessory, which would be great but is literally impossible to hold steady for focusing with the accessory attached. Definitely works better than a loupe. You can zoom the magnification, but I don't see much difference except it is even harder to hold steady. But it has a lot of magnification at the lowest power and a clear image. ... show more
