This tiny scope is good fun. Especially if you want to show children some interesting things. The optics are good. The build quality is a little delicate so use it carefully

I hike a lot and spend a lot of time in national Forests and state parks, and I have had a lot of fun with this. Every time I zoom in on a new plant or rock or anything for that matter I'm amazed all over again. Definitely glad I bought this one with the phone camera attachment. I've read other views saying that it doesn't fit, but it fits fine on mine. Once you clip it on, you may have to make a few adjustments on your actual camera like zooming in or out and centering, but it works awesome as you can see from my photos. Would definitely buy from them again.

These things are cool to use to view things up close.Images pretty good, but even with the unit right up correctly against the phone camera, there were black circle-edges visible, meaning looking at the image on my screen i could see the edges of the magnifyer as if i was looking through something... it should be where i can see my whole screen. Also, and worse, the magnet clipped it on nicely, but it was so easy to shift it or break the seal and it fall off. When you move in close to something, if you touch it or brush up against anything, even lightly, it dislodges the magnifyier from your phone. I waited too late to return it, but that is what I would have done.

The manufacturer's ad accurately describes the product and it's purpose and performance honestly.This is certainly not the highest quality but for the money it works just fine for what many people will need.The magnetic holder is a nice little added feature.

Format d'un tout petit microscope de poche il s'attache au son pince par des aiments, puis le pince se fixe sur votre telephone portable. A premier regarde, ce qu'on voit est un tunnel avec l'image au fond mais il suffit de zoomer l'image et fait le mise au point sur votre appli photo et on voit facilement les objets d'un taille 1/10eme d'un millimetre ! Certes, 20X et un grossissement tres puissante et ça ne convient pas aux insectes vivants qui bouge ! Si votre portable porte un coque avec des bordes surélevées, ou deux appareils photos (donc deux objectifs), l'alignement ne sera pas parfait mais c'est pas grave du tout et ne gene pas vraiment son fonctionnement. Qualité d'image et tres bien pour un tel petit prix. Il y a un forte abbérration chromatique mais ça se vois pas sauf dans les conditions de haute contraste, par example text blanc sur fond noir. Notice livrée en anglais mais la version française est disponible en ligne.

I love this microscope, easy to carry and nice quality, pretty clear for the price, you can get more augments because the zoom of the smartphone camera, in my case my phone has until 10X (10 augments) so the microscope is 20X, combining both I can get 200X. It is pretty clear despite the smartphones zoom is digital. NICE TOY I carry it on my backpack every where I go. I really enjoy it. I have had others like this but this one is better in quality and clearness and the design of the attaching clip is the best you can have because it uses magnets so is tolerat to certain movements than the conventional clips. REALLY CONVENIENT PURCHASE you can see a micro universe every were you go for a few bucks, and it looks long lasting, you can replace the batteries. Good for check the cleanliness in hotels too (look at the sheets and pillows)

This is a cute idea if it worked. The magnet is not strong enough to hold the scope on the clip. The clip doesnt work unless your camera and phone are completely flat. Doesn't work with phone case. Online says to use your phone to focus, but there is a manual dial on the scope to focus, but its too loosey goosey to really dial in. I thought this would be cheap yes, but fun for entertainment, but its not even that.

Nice gadget. The optical quality is surprisingly good and the zooming effect is quite powerful. The only not so great part is tat it doesn't fit quite well with my iPhone 13. But you can use it just fine with your naked eye.

Looking for a small microscope for say homeschooling, or just to keep a kid interested, this is a beyond wonderful deal. I got it when someone in my Facebook homeschooling group suggested it. I though why not look it up. I was Amazed at the price. My niece loves to go outside and look at stuff now. This works great with Apple and Galaxy phones. Not sure about the other phones. It clips on the side of your phone with the one side over the camera lenses. I had a old Galaxy phone that had no service, that I keep charged up so she isn't using my phone all the time. You can also take pics of what your looking at. I wouldn't suggest this for a highschooler, but the younger grades it is a winner.

I am very sorry that I can't figure out how to use this. There is no directions enclosed. Maybe you can only use it on flat surfaces, I don't know.It might have a chance if a stand were offered to hold the phone with the microscope. I should have had a heads up when the demonstration was only on leaves and paper bills.

es un microscopio portatil muy padre, en mi trabajo es muy versatil. las luces no ayudan mucho pero cumplen para dar un poco mas de claridad, si estas en un lugar iluminado no necesitas prenderlas. exelente calidad de materiales por el precio.
