Very portable
It is a very portable, easy to use mini microscope for the microscopic world enthusiasts like me. It has amazing 250x and 120x magnification capabilities.

Excellent microscope however little awkward to steady with mobile phone attached.
Excellent microscope however it is a little awkward to steady when mobile phone is attached. The device is probably too powerful for what I needed it for as magnification is really strong. I needed a microscope for insect identification and a scale of x10-x100 would have been more suitable for my needs. Its small, portable, fits in your pocket and maybe with more practice I may get the results I need. Great quality device compared to cost of purchase.

Handy and motivating
My son Received one first. Used it and loved it. Took it with him to the parks, camping, beach…and all around the house. Then he wanted to make sure his friends got one too so we bought a pack to have it as a party favor.

These pocket microscopes are fun and easy to use. It is amazing what the world looks like at 100x magnification. The image is clear and easily focused. I have purchased many more as gifts and they are always very well received.
