### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Thanks, I hate it.
  

*by G***L on Reviewed in the United States on September 4, 2019*

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 :(

    Wow
  

*by H***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 24, 2019*

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.

    A fine inexpensive field microscope
  

*by E***R on Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2019*

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.
