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.

Portable and easy to use

Very good product, impressive quality given the price

It works

First pocket microscope I've tried that actually lives up to it's specifications. It's a little challenging to get and keep a cell phone lined up if you are wanting to use that option, but definitely works.

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.

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.

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.

Great for use with checking OE parasites on butterflies.

Great for use with checking OE parasites on butterflies. Very clear picture. The only drawback is it doesn't come with a storage case.

Amazing for the price

Not a lab equipment but for handheld it is amazing. Bit touchy to focus at high magnification.
