This is a very good product
The product is a very good invention. Its a great microscope in an affordable price. Its easy to assemble and to use. Mobile phone can be attached to the Foldscope and photos and videos of the specimen can be taken. Its a great infotainment for children and for adults as well.

Incredible product; unjustified price
What I like : This is a revolutionary invention made by an Indian at Stanford. It serves the purpose ( which itself is wonderful). Truly a gateway to the 'Microcosmos'. If you are a parent or a teacher or just someone who wishes to teach science to the kids(or anyone for that matter) the way it is supposed to be, give them this . This can change their perception of science. And probably your's too. Difficulty faced : preparing slide is a tricky part. I managed to prepare a slide with a fruit fly's wing. It was good. I'm still trying to view one celled organisms, will update once done. I'm sceptical about the magnification. It doesn't seem to be enough to see single celled organisms. What I dislike: The sellers. There are so many sellers selling incomplete kits for less price ( Though the actual price should be 70 to 100 RS ). This seller seems promising and offer prime delivery. It's kinda sad that an Indian's invention is not available to the Indian masses for it's justified price , which actually ruins it's Noble purpose. It's science and science should be affordable ( and available) to all. Hopefully we'll see this product coming to India as it should be.

Waist product, waist of money.
Worst product, not able to see anything with the lens, seeing totally dark. I already opened and configured so can not return back too. I totally recommend to everyone not to buy this product. Waist of money.

Quality and magnification
The magnification is quite good and the instructions are very clear to assemble the product. It is worth for the money.

Not a great product!
I got this as a gift but was very disappointed. There is hardly any focus with that lens. And if I try to use glass slide it will not at all focus. The operation of adjusting the slide is very clumsy and not manageable if I m trying to use mobile camera to view as well. The magnet and stickers provided with the kit are of poor quality and this microscope is not adaptable for mobile camera having multiple lens. It was a waste of money.
