5.0 out of 5 stars Great educational tool
(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } This little pocket microscope works great! For the most part, I have used it as intended, flat on a table or desk with the subject beneath it, but I have also tried using it handheld. I've had some success, but of course it's very difficult to keep steady and focused in your hand at high levels of magnification. Using as I am supposed to though, it's very easy to set the focus and the image is very clear. My kids love using it and so do I!
5.0 out of 5 stars Recommend this 100% it far exceeded expectations.
This thing is phenomenal, it does take a while to adjust to the level of closeness but, the clarity is impeccable and it feels like it will last me for a long while.
4.0 out of 5 stars Handy little scope
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.
5.0 out of 5 stars Great Product
Works well with a steady hand. Great for children. Although it has a bit of a learning curve, it can be gotten over and after it is, it opens a whole new world to the user.How to take a picture (or video) with this product (potentially other products) and a camera phone (and other cameras):1. Place specimen on a stable surface.1.5. If the edge of the specimen is being looked at, then place a consistent object (like a sheet of paper) under it.2. The microscope must be positioned so that both hands can be free to hold the camera phone. To do this, place it over the object (and paper) and bring it into focus (at either 60x or 120x). Adjust the focus so that it is in a desirable focus when hands are not touching it.3. Open camera app on phone and bring the EV and ISO settings down as much as possible. (your mileage might very with this, but I set my own to 200 ISO and -2 EV--those are the lowest settings on my phone). Zoom out the camera all the way.4. Stabilize your elbows on a stable surface that will not allow you to move while taking the picture.5. Bring the camera lens over the microscope lens. A spec of white light should be noticed looking through the phone screen looking through the microscope lens. Move the phone such that this light is in the center of the screen. Some visual content of the specimen should come into resolution after bringing it a bit closer. However, don't bring the lens of the camera too close to the lens of the scope. There's a sweet spot. You have to find it.6. Take your picture. If your specimen is occupied by some living, moving animalcules, take your video.Steps 3-6 can be used in a more powerful light microscope (up and above 2500x). I used this method in biology and chemistry courses in college and the other students (and teachers) would always be surprised with the clean and high-quality pictures/video I would capture using this crude method.Here are some pictures I've taken using this method.The first two are of the specimen with just my phone camera ("new" rusted razor I need to return!).The third is my showing the placement of the scope over the specimen. Notice that the yellow sheet of paper is only under the edge of the razor because that's the portion I'm interested in. This also helped with stabalization, because the edge would not be flush with the table I was working on.Pictures 4, 5, 6, and 7 show me finding and zooming in on the speck of light I mention in step 5.The 8th and 9th pictures are the finished product (and make the rust on the edge extremely visible).The last image is one I took without lowering the ISO and EV levels in my camera appBtw, my phone is an HTC one M7, the first edition that came out (and I bought) 2+ years ago (march 2013). I think the camera has a capacity of 4 megapixels. So you probably have a much better camera than me. That said, your mileage may vary, but I'm confident that you can do this with just about any camera.Have fun with the Carson Scope!
3.0 out of 5 stars No phone clip😒

5.0 out of 5 stars 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
5.0 out of 5 stars Very clear, very touchy
Alright. I bought this for my 6 year old and she loves it. I found myself looking at a lot of things with my own curiosity too. My only critique is that it's very sensitive to minor adjustments which can be very frustrating for my 6 year old. She is learning the fine motor skills to work it and it's getting easier for her to focus on what she's looking at, but just a note to fellow parents, if you have a curious little one maybe look into a microscope that isn't as powerful to learn with. This brand is very good though. Clear glass, solid construction, it has zoom and focus adjustments, doesn't feel cheap, bright LED, definitely fun for kids just be ready for a bit of a learning curve for younger kids. If you have multiple kids, buy one for each to limit fighting over it. I'll be placing another order soon haha
4.0 out of 5 stars Really fun, but inconsistent manufacturing
Bought one for my son, and I’m kind of obsessed with it. Sooooo fun. Then bought one for my nephew but the depth of field is smaller than the one we have, so it’s very tricky to keep anything in focus.
Very appreciated

Súper recomendado
Este microscopio portátil ha sido todo un acierto. Es muy pequeño, ligero y fácil de llevar a todas partes, lo que lo convierte en el compañero perfecto para mi sobrino, que no se separa de él. Le encanta llevárselo al parque, al campo o incluso de paseo, y va inspeccionando todo lo que encuentra: hojas, piedras, insectos, cortezas de árbol… ¡todo se convierte en un descubrimiento fascinante!A pesar de su tamaño compacto, ofrece una ampliación sorprendentemente buena, permitiendo ver detalles que a simple vista pasan totalmente desapercibidos. Estimula muchísimo su curiosidad y le anima a observar el mundo con otros ojos. Sin duda, un regalo genial para pequeños exploradores y amantes de la naturaleza. ¡Muy recomendable!
Ingrandimento e nitidezza garantiti!
Dovevo capire come mai le foglie di un bonsai si erano opacizzante. Un amico mi ha prestato questo incredibile microscopio e siamo riusciti ad identifare il tipo di infestazione. Ho deciso di comprarlo anch'io perché è davvero eccezionale. L'ingrandimento grazie ad una leva passa da un ingrandimento da 60x a 120x e l'illuminazione a LED consente una illuminazione uniformemente delle parti ispezionate. La robustezza e la compattezza lo rendono facilmente trasportabile. Avevo valutato altri marchi più economici ma penso sia tra i migliori di questa categoria.
Easy to use at a great price.
Got it at 12 bucks. Very simple to use and it works. You can use your phone to amplify the view finder.
expected Teemu product, Recieved German engineering microscope (joke, but this is a great product)
recently got into sharpening knifes, and it became a rather slippery slope. became rather good, easily reaching shaving sharp, or razor sharp, however you wanna call it. but i felt like i wanted to go further. And while you can see if a knife is sharp with its performance, the real magic starts in the microscopic realm.i was really skeptical about this cheap 18€ microscope. ordered it ready to just throw it in my pile of cheap "Teemo" quality items. but man, this is a impressively good product. for my use its near perfect (perfect would be if the image wasn't mirrored) it takes some getting used to, but when you get the hang of it, i would almost say, best 18€ ive spent in years.now, if you want a mobile microscope, inspecting leafs on the go, without cutting them off, and placing them on a flat solid surface.. this is not the product for you. it does indeed require a solid platform to get a clean image. but if that doesnt bother you, you wont be disapointed. 10/10 for me, as a knife sharpener. (Yes you can absolutely get better, but not without it needing a permanent spot to place it)i doubt the zoom is 60x - 120x tho. the min / max seems too close. but the focusing is easy (can zoom and focus the image 1 handed) tested it on a few things, single hairs, phone pixels, and a nude of my ex's BF (still couldnt find the PP)Honestly, i reccomed this product, and at the price, if it breaks, i would buy it again (maybe multiple as gifts since they are dirt cheap for what you get)
