Mini Microscope Global Scientist

If you’re considering this pocket microscope as a value compromise purchase for a fidgeting child then surprise! The marketing claims are in fact true. The optics are clear and sharp. It is also easy to use and better quality overall than I expected for the modest price. It works for curiosity smitten adults too!

I bought this to analyze a couple of things, but it's turned out to be so fun to use that I'm playing with it like a toy! It's hard to adjust to see things upside down and learning to move everything in the opposite direction as it appears in the microscope. Want to see something on the left through the microscope? You have to move it to the right. So weird. 5 stars, though!

I collect MtG cards, and got this thing to help me out when trading for high value pieces. I keep it in my bag as it's small and compact. I've used it a bunch to help verify the authenticity of cards, as it seems these days counterfeits are becoming better and better.

Simple of use, light works well, magnification range is great! There are other microscopes that have higher mags, but keep in mind that in higher mags you have to place microscope on sturdy surface as any minimal shaking will not allow good focus, also in higher mags, plastic optics may not perform the best.

Okay I've used this thing for all of 5 minutes so far, but I am hooked! It's much smaller than u thought it would be, but that's not a problem for me. I took out of the box and began using before I even realized it has a small "manual", if you've ever used any kind if scoping device this will be a total cinch. If not, I doubt it'll be hard to figure out. Images are super crisp and I'm amazed at what I can see. This one was totally worth it and I think i'm going to but some of the others that it has listed here. Buy it, you wont regret it.
