Firstly, I'd like to mention when I received my order yesterday that the one I got was used and missing the clip. I submitted my request for a replacement and let me say, in just under 24 hours later, I already got a new replacement. I have NEVER experienced such rapid and hassle free service. Amazon amazes me more every day!And so on with the product. I am definitely giving this a 100% positive review. When I saw it on Amazon, I thought it would be something my grandson would like. After looking at others, this one seemed the best for the price.I had a such a hard time putting it down, I spent hours using it this morning!!The microscope is built sturdy, slim enough for your pocket, purse, or hand, big or small. The functions are all easy to use. And when I used it on my phone, I was even more impressed. I have not tried the slide yet, but I can only guess based on what short time I have played around with it, that will be a favorable feature as well.As for the price, I did get it on sale, but I believe even full price it is worth it. So much that I will be keeping this one and not only ordering another for my grandson, but also for my high school aged son and my husband, who both want one too!

As someone that did microscopy at various times in both education and in volunteering for a local museum, I have to say I'm impressed at how well this scope performs. For a handheld (and some tabletop ones I've used), this actually is a really good and clear scope! The UV part only activates as you hold its button down, and the regular light is on point for being able to look at slides and other things like paper and carpet fibers and hairs. I highly suggest if you're the type of person that takes walks in their neighborhood that includes curiosity of your surroundings, this would be a valuable tool to look at leaves and such up close. A worthwhile investment.The slides suck. Sure, you can see stuff because the scope is good, but there are so many bubbles in the production of these slides even I don't always know what I'm looking at without a label. Too cheaply made, especially for a layman that doesn't do microscopy a lot and won't necessarily know a bubble from an actual structure that's the subject of the slide. I'd just buy the scope.

I purchased this for a homeschool Middle School science course. The stability is poor because you have to hold the phone the entire time you're trying to use this. It is difficult to focus, though that might be the case for any microscope? The portability is great! The price is great! I wish that it had some sort of tripod design so that you didn't have to hold the phone steady the whole time while fiddling with the focus dial

This is a really good microscope, but to be honest, I have no idea how to effectively use it.I was looking for a simple magnifying glass to see tiny things close up, for example to look at tiny print or perhaps an insect. My instincts told me that if 10 or 20X power was pretty good, 250X must be amazing! Unfortunately, I never realized just how strong 100 - 250X would be.When magnification is that strong, you have a hard time aiming it at whatever you want to see, and when you find it, your view is so powerful that you can't figure out what it is you're seeing. Text on a smartphone is just a bunch of giant pixels. Printed words are out of the question... you're looking at the individual dots that form a single letter. In a word, overkill... for me.Lesson learned. If you're just looking for a magnifying glass, stick to something 30x or lower. Once you get to 100 or 250x, you are now looking at something only a trained eye (or student) can actually understand.In the end, I still use my 20x -30x magnifying glasses on a regular basis, but from time to time I get a kick out of looking at something through this microscope, so I'm not sending it back.It has a feature to let you use your smartphone to take pictures, but it's not easy to use because first you need to figure out where to aim it, then you need to find a way to hold your cell phone, the microscope and your subject steady as you aim it.

Sin duda que una muy buen inversión, la relación de los beneficios que obtuve con el costo es excelente, de buen material aunque sea de plástico es rÃgido, no creo que pueda utilizarlo mucho en campo por alguna de sus caracterÃsticas que creo lo hacen más de uso casero. Sin duda lo que no está muy bien es que el vendedor no especÃfica por ejemplo el tiempo de vida de la luz led ya que de esta depende el buen funcionamiento del microscopio, otro detalle es que el clip para el celular es poco autónomo, los equipos celulares de hoy en dÃa son pesados y realmente tienes que utilizar una mano para sostener el teléfono y con la otra enfocar por lo que tomar foto o video se hace complejo. Pero en general me pareció un excelente equipo.

This is so fun!! Love the quality for the price. It zooms in more than I expected. When looking at printed paper you can see the separation of the ink colors. Easy to use. I like that it comes with a phone clip.

My kids and I have had so much fun with this. It fits easily in one hand and can be operated well enough with one hand. That helps if you use the phone clip, so you can balance your phone. Also, I do recommend attaching your phone as its makes viewing so much easier and for everyone to share in the experience.Picture 1: a leaf from inside our housePicture 2: a piece of coloured, patterned paperGreat value, I've definitely spent more on worse. This is less expensive, more compact and easier to use that other children's microscopes we've purchased.Highly recommend!

Muy buena inversión, excelente para cualquiera que quiera aventurarse sin tener que gastar tanto. OJO: no es un microscopio profesional, con el que puedas ver con mucho aumento. Hay que ser realistas. Si buscas algo con más aumento que lo de las fotos, te recomiendo que adquieras uno profesional.Nota: hay que tener paciencia y/o algo de experiencia previa con uso de microscopios. Si no, ve tutoriales de YouTube. Te ayudarán a guiarte como enfocar, como buscar en el portaobjetos, etc.En mi caso, no sirvió la luz UV, pero no importa mucho. La experiencia aun asà es bastante buena.Hay que tener en cuenta que en algunas laminillas son para ver como es la estructura de la porción anatómica. Identificar texturas. En otras, el acercamiento te permite ver con más claridad. Esto es debido al tipo de corte (algunos son delgados como rebanadas, y otros son porciones). Para darte una idea de lo que vas a ver, puedes traducir las palabras de la descripción de cada laminilla, y todo podria tener más sentido.La lentilla para colocar el teléfono, funciona. Hay que encontrar la forma de que haga "click", para que se estabilice de mejor forma. Es un proceso simple y lo puede hacer un niño de 9 años (es real, mi hija puede usarlo ya por su cuenta). Hay que tener en cuenta que puedes seguir haciendo zoom con la pantalla del teléfono, lo que esta genial. También, hay que girar un poco el teléfono (por eso tiene que estar fijo junto con la lentilla), para que en la foto aparezca lo que encontraste en el microscopio.Viene con las laminillas que promete, y viene con un portaobjetos extra, que ayuda mucho a que los niños recojan sus propias muestras y las examinen por ellos mismos.Requiere pilas (no incluidas).Espero les ayude. A nosotros nos encantó.
