Microscope
Works great to check tri's. Tried a few different handhelds and this is by far the best cheap option, better than loupes too. Only drawback is that it's really hard to get footage without removing plant matter(you'll c). Great cheap option tho, it gets the job done.

This little thing is really incredible.
You should just buy it. It's affordable and it works beautifully. I will say you will see things you may have not ever thought you'd see or wanted to see. It's amazing though. The clip to attach it to your phone is a little bit of a pain but it's probably user error though. It takes a little fiddling to get it down but no big deal once you have it in hand. My husband says he should have never bought it bc I'm a tad bit OCD and you'll soon realize what you may have thought to be clean.... Is only clean to the naked eye. It was something I had to accept. Just buy it it's really cool and not expensive. Really fun to use as well.

More fun that a traditional microscope
Great toy for looking at stuff on the go. More so, and much easier to use than a traditional microscope with slides etc. My son would run around at look at grass leaved fiber on cloth.... It was a very free form toy for him. This is not a cellular level microscope that magnification isn't that high. Its reasonable tough. I wouldn't chick it at a wall but it will survive floor and outside drops. The built in light was bright even indoors (its doubled as a flashlight a few times) and the focus physically setting it on something was very clear. I'd honestly get one as an adult for things things that interest me on a hiking or fishing trip.

MicroBrite Best for Monarch OE testing
The MicroBrite is actually better for testing monarchs for OE than the slightly stronger Microflip. The light is brighter and you can put it directly on top of the index card for testing. With the Microflip, you need to use it with a slide. The strength of the MicroBrite is more than enough to spot OE spores.

Good Luck With Glasses.
This product is hard to focus and if you wear glasses it is not user friendly, the Phone clip is a nice gesture for glasses wearers however my phone Google Pixel 9 Pro XL kept switching camera lenses so it would not pick up the image, most importantly I was only able to focus the image TWICE AFTER OPENING PACKAGE. Don't be fooled

100% Recommended
This microscope is really good. I bought two because I saw several reviews that were very positive, so I decided to get them. I ordered the package that comes with the phone holder. These microscopes are really good for the price because they allow you to see things up close and with very good quality. The phone holder could definitely be a bit more robust since my phone is quite light (I have a Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus) and it works fine, but any other slightly heavier phone might not be ideal for using it. I've observed all kinds of things, and since I'm a mycologist who loves studying mushrooms in nature, this little device is perfect for my use. Some people have left negative reviews, but that's only because they don't understand how the microscope works. For example, some people say it doesn't focus properly, but that's because they obviously don't know how to use the dial to adjust the focus. There are also others who even complain because the image is upside down—duh! Anyone who knows how lenses work knows that the image will always be upside down with this type of device. So, to anyone reading this review, I recommend trying these microscopes because they are really good, and I recommend them 100%. 1st image: The pores of a Reishi Mushroom Video: Green mold growing in a grain of rice I must say that what you see in the videos doesn't compare to what you are going to see with your own eye.

WAY Under-Engineered, please read.
They didn't bother to correct the image flipping so, do not expect to track your subject of observation with any degree of intuition; it's all reverse, up is down, left is right, it's agony and makes the device useless for looking at micro-organisms. The light is placed terribly and there is only a single-source point of light, because of this, it can be challenging to get any subjects close enough within the tiny focal length to see it, without blocking the only point of light that is provided, external light source highly recommended which entirely defeats the purpose of being portable. The phone attachment works but adds no real benefit to functionality other than being able to take photos and videos through the lens. However, the clip slides all around when adjusting the zoom roller on the device, consider this if you want to hold the subject with one hand and hold the phone/device in the other, it doesn't work very well at all. THE ONLY thing that made me not rate this one star is the fact that, in the end, when you eventually overcome the above stated issues, it does have a fantastic zoom capability. It's a shame the other glaring issues completely overshadow the good looking lensed image. Don't waste your money on this like I did, find a better product. This thing shouldn't even be on the market at all. I'd be embarrassed to sell this to people.

Great gift
Requires some skill to use. Could be difficult for a small kid, if it's a bit difficult for an adult like me with no microscopic experience. Otherwise, it's great.

Très impressionnant pour le prix
Acheté par curiosité, le résultat est bluffant. On voit les fibres du papier, les cellules des brins d'herbe, etc. Je suis épaté, mes enfants aussi. + facile à prendre et main et mettre au point + image claire + possibilité de faire une photo avec le smartphone facilement + bon éclairage, mais utilisé par dessus un éclairage arrière est encore mieux (attention je ne le fais qu'avec une smartphone, pas en direct avec l'oeil) Je recommande, à ce prix vous époustouflerez vos enfants !

Portatile potente e illuminato bene
Bello e facile da usare. Certo è un prodotto economico, ma non è un giocattolo e permette di osservare bene il campione in esame. Bello.

It was a gift
Recipient has fun with it and it seems to work well. The phone clip poses a little problem.

Microscópio excelente.
Perfeito. Da para ver direitinho, tanto direto no microscópio como com o uso de celular para aumentar a tela. Obs. O app não funciona para celulares antigos, só os atuais. Comprado para criança adquirir maior conhecimento com a parte de ciências/biologia.
