Review: Great Microscope at great price - This microscope is truly outstanding. I bought it for inspection work and biological analysis, for which it is perfect and clear with an easy to use high zoom rate. The unit is extremely easy to use and apply both at home and in the field, it’s portable and can be used by anyone at any skill level. At home, my wife enjoys using it for her arts and crafts inspections of gemstones and crystals, and what is always fun to use it on weekends with the kids in the garden to look at water samples and biological material, leaves, sand, etc. It truly is an all round product which is as good for professional work, classroom work, to hobby work. I particularly like the smartphone adaptor clip which is included in the package free of charge, it fits my iphone as well as my son’s android, and I’m sure it will fit any other smartphone type device in the market. The clip/adapter is easy to fit and extremely easy to centre. It allows me to take pictures of my work, but also add additional zoom via the phone lens! I enjoy uploading my images to various social media, and I can easily share my research in the field with colleagues in the office by emailing pictures directly from my smartphone. Without hesitation, best value for money microscope in the market, and highly recommended.
Review: AMAZING!!! - I honestly could have added a thousand photos. My daughter (8) got one for Christmas from my in laws, on my recommendation. I’d been looking at various ones for ages as they looked good but wasn’t sure if it was all just a hype. They are amazing!! So much so that I bought myself one as well on Boxing Day 😂 We love them, we spend loads of time looking at slides and the carpet and clothes and skin and rocks and just about anything! The pictures on my phone aren’t as good as looking with your eyes but even then, they are pretty awesome quality. It’s a faff adding your phone but so worth it (comes with a clip) and once you get used to it, it gets easier. It’s amazing how zoomed in they go, you can see so much. I would say don’t bother wasting your money on slides. They aren’t worth it and this is fab for looking at everything already around you!! 100% recommend! Well worth the money.

Great magnifier. Phone clip is a little finicky and can’t really hold the weight so drops a star for that. UV light is a nice bonus. Decent size and fairly intuitive.
