Carson MicroBrite Plus 60x-120x Accurate LED Lighted Pocket Microscope, Portable Educational STEM Toy, Mini Handheld Microscope for Student Science Lab (MM-300)

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 was honestly shocked with the picture quality and overall build quality for the price. my kid loves running around with it and looking at things.

This was bought to check for OE in Monarch butterflies before they were released. This definitely has the magnification needed to see clearly. It is a bit hard to use the clip and focus on one spot without the entire microscope moving when or when trying to take a photo, but, if no photo is needed, it’s perfect for its use. In the photos I’ve attached, you can clearly see butterflies with and without OE.These Monarchs were raised in sterile nets and released if no OE was detected in the state of PA.

Great for gifts. Well made. Granddaughter loves it. Great for magnifying bugs and plants. Easy to work

This is good for coins if you have nothing already more like a jeweler loop then what I was buying it for

Fantastic little microscope.Highly recommended for anyone with kids. They will become little scientists in an instant.

Kids enjoy using this.

Initially, I really liked this microscope and it's definitely great for a lot of things. I purchased it to identify pest issues on my plants and it's a great size for that. The magnification is excellent and as long as you can find the object you're looking for in the viewfinder, the focus is also great. The issue is that it can be extremely hard to locate objects and if you pick up the microscope even the slightest bit to shift it to another section you lose focus. The viewing range is very small so you need to essentially pass exactly over the object you're looking for in order to find it. Trying to identify pests that move is not ideal with this microscope for this reason. Ultimately I think I may return this for something with a slightly wider view because it can be a bit frustrating to use for the purposes I need it for. However, if you're looking for something portable for great close-ups of things that stay in one place this would be a great option!
