Carson MicroBrite 20x-40x LED Lighted Pocket Microscope

This is an extremely handy device! lightweight, durable. Great for seeing anything up close: fine print, skin irritations. Show your kids little creepy crawlers up close and personal :-) Great value for the money.

I've been using a small magnifying glass for several years for looking at things. I saw this and thought I'd try it. I am amazed at the difference! Great magnification, easy focusing, and an LED light! And, the price makes it an ideal item to have for looking at just about anything.

My son is 6 years old and this microscope is perfect for him. It is very easy to use, and it magnifies the details of bugs, hair, skin, fabrics, etc. Of course it is NOT professional grade, but it is good enough for a beginner. Great value for the low price.

Bought this for my grandchildren for outdoor playtime! Big success for ages 9-4!

Great product, easy to use.

Nice little handheld microscope. You do have to be flat against the object to see it well, but I think that's a limitation for all these style of microscopes. My only real quibble would be that it doesn't use the AA batteries like the higher magnification versions of this microscope, and it uses button batteries instead. Not sure if they'll just become trash after the batteries are gone or if I'll go through the hassle of finding/replacing the batteries.

My grand son (5) can use it inside or outside, because the light is in the microscope. The base is useful for looking without olding it, but without the base, he can look at anything he finds, small or large. Little hands can hold it easily. Zoom is big enough to impress any kid and even adult.

Was surprising to me, it worked as well as it did

I didnt realize I was getting a kids microscope lol but it states plane on the package "Carson Kids" and I have to disagree with the reviews that say its great for viewing small things green! i guess I can't figure out how to focus it bc my coins are upside down when viewing lol I just give up. its being returned and I will spend more money if I need to and buy as many and return them until I find what I am looking for. oh and the batteries were dead too!

i wanted a better quality one for coins.
