Title: Amazing for the Pricepoint
Review: I bought this as a gift for someone and after trying it out, I really want to buy one for myself. I don’t see how I could complain about this pocket microscope when its as cheap as it is. Of course the image is inverted like some of the other reviews mention, that’s how microscopes work. Most lab microscopes are inverted, you’d have to buy a specialty or electronic microscope in order to solve that issue. This little guy fits in one hand and has a plastic guard so you can avoid accidentally scratching the lens. The top wheel adjusts magnification and bottom wheel adjusts Focus. If you are having trouble because the wheels are “stiff” as others have reported, simply place the microscope on a flat surface againts the plastic, adjust your view until it looks in focus and then bam you instantly have a microscope at the perfect focal point of whatever you place against the plastic. I for one love that the wheels aren’t going to be accidentally bumped out of focus while youre trying to look at an object. They are firm but not so firm that its actually difficult to turn them. It’s just right. When it comes to magnification strength its accurate to the listing. you can see the fibres that make up your clothing or the dots of ink that are printed on a linoleum countertop. It’s amazing that something like this is widely avaliable for anyone to use. If I could change one thing about it, I’d add a lid / lens cover that you could put on for travel. Overall its a quality purchase

Title: Worth every penny
Review: We’ve had this for over 4 years and it’s really quite valuable in our home. It works wonderfully and better than i could’ve expected. The magnification is clearer, if not better than our larger standard one. (Naturalists and homeschoolers here.)

Title: What you see is a mirror image of what you’re looking at.
Review: I got this for my wife, who buys and sells vintage silver jewelry. She needs a good loupe for examining hallmarks and signatures. I’m able to use this microscope just fine, although I have to agree that it’s so very touchy even when fully zoomed out, to keep your subject in the view field. And then, since your actually seeing a mirror image of the piece you’re looking at, you have to keep this in mind when you make the adjustments of the piece you’re looking at. Even the smallest movement of the piece can take whatever you’re trying to examine right out of view, and this is exacerbated by the fact that you need to move the piece in the opposite direction of where you feel it should go. Hard to explain. I can do it, but my wife has all but given up because it’s just too much of a bother to keep he subject in focus. The focus and zoom wheels are so hard to turn that it’s nearly impossible to move either of them without again having to move your subject back into the view field. I just leave it zoomed out so I never need to touch that adjustment, and then I set the focus wheel to “very close” and then move the scope up and down (away from and closer to the subject) a tiny bit to get the subject into clear focus.You also need to make certain that the scope is perpendicular to the subject, as the depth of field is so short that even a small piece of jewelry will present as sharp-focus in one place and very soft-focus in others.With some patience and practice, this can be an excellent tool. But do the practice part before you really need it, or it’ll be a frustrating experience.Except for the tight, hard to turn adjustment wheels, this is a very nicely made scope and the built-in light is well placed to light up your subject. Seeing your subject in mirror-image takes some getting used to, but the clarity of the view, IMHO, makes it worth the effort.At it’s price, it’s also a bargain. Fits in your pocket, too.

Title: REALLY HARD TO SEE / USE
Review: Fine build – the clear plastic could be a little better. The light switch could be switched on and not momentary requiring you to keep your finger pressed in one position.DOUBLE DIFFICULT because you’re working with A MIRROR IMAGE. Totally unintuitive having the image go the wrong way while you’re trying to align and find and focus the subject by tilting and lifting and sliding simultaneously at such a high a power.If I had known all that – I would have spared myself the pain.It’s also not the best mag range – it’s high, which is useful, but very hard to align, and half the max would probably be just as useful for daily use on slivers and such.. I’m not looking for bacteria.
