This a word from Guy Fieri is my Spirit Animal experience Thanks, I hate it..
It's not the microscope I hate; this thing is fantastic! It's what I can SEE with the microscope that I hate! Yes, you can see dust mites with this thing and they are horrifying. Please do not use this to view your bedsheets or that really old bag of flour in your pantry because you will question whether life is worth going on as I did. I have already made these mistakes so you dont have to.
The 250x magnification is a bit hard to look at, but photos come out alright. 100x definitely comes through the lens clearer to the naked eye for some reason. Included are photos of a tick (dirty fingernail for scale) that I found on me the other day along with a 100x picture of the tick through this microscope, and a picture of my (now formerly) favorite rock with chrysotile asbestos visible at 250x :(

A review HighDegree Reviews Talk Wow.
I just got this because I’m a kid inside and I like to look at small things. I’ve discovered a whole world that I couldn’t see before. This thing shattered my quality of image expectations, wish I had one of these when I was a kid.

My friend Explorer Talk A fine inexpensive field microscope.
It works well, it's easy to use (both my 8-year-old son and my mom figured it out pretty easily), and is powerful enough to clearly see things like spirogyra cells, larger dinoflagellates and other marine plankton, and OMG that's what the fibers of my jeans look like?!?!
This is one of my new favorite toys, one that I wish that I had when I was studying biology in school. Back in the 80s this would have cost a few hundred bucks, if not more. Optical tech has improved by leaps and bounds since then, and for the price, the MicroFlip is impressive as heck.
The phone option is nice, too, but we don't use it a lot. It's just a clip that centers your phone's camera over the lens, you'll want to use your zoom options on your phone to make it visible. I appreciate the option, it's worthwhile and almost-practical, but you get the best fun from looking in the lens directly (it's great for viewing at home with several people, hopefully fellow nerds. But it's a "field microscope," you want to use it in the field, right? With some twiddling, and care, it works fine for classes and camping if you want to use the phone option.)
The slide doen't really fit well on the clip. No slides do, in fact. That's a little annoying for a field instrument.
But, overall, the optical quality is lovely, and the price is right, and it's taken a slight beating and survived and still works at 100%. Even if I dropped it and lost it forever somehow, I could still replace it for the cost of coffee, lunch, and gas.
Recommended, highly.

My friend Dani Long tell us Magnification and picture quality are absolutely over the top.
I ordered this to look at a deer tick that was removed from my leg at the doctor's office. The magnification on this unit was actually too high to take a good look at it. It was better than anything that was available in the doctor's office!
I really like the little lens adapter that allows you to use your phone camera as an attachment, both to make viewing easier and to take photos and video.
I'm going to keep it because it's absolutely amazing. The picture quality, the viewing quality it's just over the top for the price of the unit.

This a word from Geo Talk New is always better.
I bought an earlier version of this 3 years ago and give it 5 stars. It works awesome. I bought this one because it has a slide to make viewing easier. Unfortunately, there is a brown halo which interferes with the image. I tried calling their tech support but their automated system didn’t recognize the product and therefore could not figure out who to connect me to. They leave me no choice other than to return it. I would recommend passing on this one and try their microbrite plus 60x-120x pocket microscope.

Review T.K.R. Talk For Fun and Learning.
This microscope is perfect for use out in the field and at home. The clip is universal and worked for my android, iPhone 6 Plus, and my iPads. There’s a little bit of a learning curve with focusing. Take your time and experiment with the focus both with your phone and the naked eye. After a handful of uses, it’ll become second nature and the pictures you’ll get are amazing. I’ve used this for fine adjustments with hobby parts and for looking at things in nature like leaves. It works well in both applications.

This a word from felicity Talk Amazing.
The first time the whole thing was missing in the order. Luckily amazon agreed to send another one without me sending the whole package along with my other coffee products back which would take months.
The microscope itself is amazing. It does take a bit time to get used to handle it properly but once you get the angles right, the result is truly amazing. Especially for the price. My daughter loves it SO much!

Another customer Howard L. Keziah Talk Extremely poor documentation and impossible to steady an iphone with the clip.
The included booklet doesn't have enough detail, especially how to use it with the included slide and cover slip.
The booklet lists a link to a PDF User Guide. But that link leads to you a not found page. This product is so close to something useful, but a child couldn't use it and I couldn't use it. Don't waste your money on this product. It's frustrating.

A review Nicole Harris experience This microscope is AWESOME!.
Birthday present win. Mom win. Homeschool win. ALL the wins. This is the coolest little pocket microscope! 100-250x magnification. We've been walking around the house, looking at EVERYTHING.

My friend KelleyMom say Worth the money. Tons of fun..
We originally purchased the Carson MicroBrite Plus 60x-120x LED Lighted Pocket Microscope for homeschooling and honestly, entertainment purposes. Its the lowered powered version this microscope. It was great. I was impressed with how easy it was to use and how much the kids enjoyed looking at different materials with it. it is very easy to set up and get into focus. For the price, it is pretty durable. The only drawback for me is I have vision issues so looking through the lens frequently strained my eyes. My son lined up the camera on my cell phone with the lens so he could take pictures and that alleviate some of my eyestrain. So in comes the purchase of the Carson MicroFlip 100x-250x and Smartphone Digiscoping Clip. My kids have enjoyed the higher power magnification and the smartphone clip makes it much easier for viewing and taking photos. It clips over your phone camera and then attaches to the microscope. It takes a little adjusting to get everything to line up just right, but once it is set the clip holds everything in place. The kids have examined almost everything under this microscope. From fibers from clothing and shoes to dead bugs. Its been well worth the purchase.
