 Great idea August 16, 2006

This has become one of the highlights for people coming over to my apartment and hanging out. I keep it out on the coffee table and inevitably during the night someone picks it up and starts checking everything within reach using it.
It gives you a view you don't get to see normally without any fuss, just turn the knob to focus or zoom. It works well on nearly everything short of glossy objects and bright white objects. For the price, this is a great toy for the curious.
Very useful "toy" August 30, 2007

I agree with previous reviewer that this is more of a toy than a tool.
It is very small (about 3" tall) and easily portable. I found the product to be sturdy and well built. Controls are not smooth and it does feel cheap.
The item we received has a small pieace of stray material on the inside of the scope towards the rim of the lens. While it doesn't obstruct the main view of the subject, its presence is annoying.
It takes 2 AAA batteries (not supplied). There is a switch on the back to turn the light on and off. The light is bright and illuminates the subject very well. Overall, the product met my expectation and my family likes the product.

Definitely a good portable microscope for general use. Bought it just for fun and it didn't disappoint. The picture is quite crisp, as long as you're not far sighted. I haven't tried to look at cells yet, but I'm sure you can (if you have some slides, and a light that shines from bottom up).
The only small complaint I have with this is that light that comes with this is rather old and may fluctuate in brightness from time to time. Its shaped like an LED somewhat, but you can tell that it's incandescent. I'd suggest replacing it with a bright LED to maximize that image quality if you can.
Good buy October 24, 2009
