  • Way better than I would have believed possible
Size: 1 Style: MicroBrite (MM-300)
I bought this to look closely at some plants in my greenhouse. It's brilliant for that. Image is crystal clear, focusing is simple, the zoom works astonishingly well too (although for horticultural purposes just leave it on the lowest zoom.) Build quality is excellent, all the moving parts are sealed internally, it's easy to clean. Perfect little tool and for $13? Can't lose. It's also just great to carry around on walks outside. Look at the crystals in rocks, look at nature, whatever you have nearby is fun to see up close. Even the paper on my desk. My kids love it. Only tiny wrinkle is that, due to the optical design, the image is flipped in the eyepiece so it's counterintuitive which way to move the sample or the scope to move around the image. ... show more

  • Perfect for detecting fake TCG cards
Size: 1 Style: MicroBrite (MM-300)
I recently purchased the Carson MicroBrite Plus 60x-120x LED Lighted Pocket Microscope, and I'm thrilled with my purchase. As an enthusiast of microscopy, I needed a reliable and portable tool to explore the microscopic world. This pocket microscope delivers on both counts. Pros: - Portability: The MicroBrite Plus is compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry around. - Bright LED Illumination: The built-in LED light system provides clear vision and accurate observations. - High Magnification: With a versatile magnification range of 60x to 120x, this microscope adapts to various experiments. - Educational: It's an excellent STEM toy for kids and adults alike, encouraging hands-on exploration. - Lab-Tested: Designed and tested in New York by Carson, a USA-based optics expert since 1990. Cons: - Focus Adjustment: Some users find it challenging to adjust the focus, especially for round or curved objects. - Clarity: A few users experienced difficulty getting a clear view, possibly due to the focus issue. Overall, I highly recommend the Carson MicroBrite Plus 60x-120x LED Lighted Pocket Microscope to anyone interested in exploring the microscopic world. Its portability, bright LED illumination, and high magnification make it an excellent tool for students, professionals, and enthusiasts alike. ... show more

  • Very good; would be more useful if it had a base and slide holder.
Size: 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
