4 out of 5 stars quite fun, but probably not 100x   June 30, 2006
Epsilon Delta (CA USA)

this little microscope is quite fun... it can let you see paper tissue as long fiber, and see carbon particles on a paper printed out by a laser printer. for many printings, i can actually see the "pink" color as red background with lots of white circle dots, making the red look like pink. so it is a lot of fun. However, I don't think it can really magnify to 100x or 60x, because at 100x, we should be able to see dust mites with it. (some photos of dust mite were taken at 200x on some website). but i used this microscope to look here and there, and i never saw any moving object such as a dust mite.




5 out of 5 stars Great idea   August 16, 2006

This has become one of the highlights for people coming over to my apartment and hanging out. I keep it out on the coffee table and inevitably during the night someone picks it up and starts checking everything within reach using it.
It gives you a view you don't get to see normally without any fuss, just turn the knob to focus or zoom. It works well on nearly everything short of glossy objects and bright white objects. For the price, this is a great toy for the curious.



5 out of 5 stars Very useful "toy"   August 30, 2007

I agree with previous reviewer that this is more of a toy than a tool.

It is very small (about 3" tall) and easily portable. I found the product to be sturdy and well built. Controls are not smooth and it does feel cheap.

The item we received has a small pieace of stray material on the inside of the scope towards the rim of the lens. While it doesn't obstruct the main view of the subject, its presence is annoying.

It takes 2 AAA batteries (not supplied). There is a switch on the back to turn the light on and off. The light is bright and illuminates the subject very well. Overall, the product met my expectation and my family likes the product.



3 out of 5 stars quality of components   January 30, 2007

I doubt this little guy gets the magnification it claims. the cheap plastic parts work like cheap plastic parts. The focus and zoom controls dont hold their positions between observations, while working on the same job. that being said the scope is relatively inexpensive and i have used worse. this is more of a smart toy than a tool.


2 out of 5 stars too small   November 27, 2007

I realize this is a MICRO, meaning small product, but it is so small it is very hard to use
