Carson MP-250 MicroFlip 100-250x LED Lighted Pocket Microscope with Smartphone Digiscoping Adapter Clip, Grey

I honestly could have added a thousand photos.My daughter (8) got one for Christmas from my in laws, on my recommendation. I’d been looking at various ones for ages as they looked good but wasn’t sure if it was all just a hype.They are amazing!! So much so that I bought myself one as well on Boxing Day 😂We love them, we spend loads of time looking at slides and the carpet and clothes and skin and rocks and just about anything!The pictures on my phone aren’t as good as looking with your eyes but even then, they are pretty awesome quality. It’s a faff adding your phone but so worth it (comes with a clip) and once you get used to it, it gets easier.It’s amazing how zoomed in they go, you can see so much.I would say don’t bother wasting your money on slides. They aren’t worth it and this is fab for looking at everything already around you!!100% recommend! Well worth the money.

Bought for outdoorsey children for Christmas.Perfect size for your pocket and looked quite sturdy for taking outside on walks and looking at bugs etc up close. Just what I wanted for them.

Good product

This is a great little microscope that can show enormous amounts of detail in any object. A great educational toy for kids as well.

Forthe price its pretty amazing however the lense on the top has what looks like film of liquid that has dried and left noticeable spots which my phone camera picks up im not sure if this is a defect on the one i have or not but they become even more noticeable when you zoom to x250. It doesnt affect it too much but it is annoying if you are using the thing to create content. It also takes some getting used too as when you attach a phone its very difficult to keep still so unless your subject is large enough to compensate for the constant movement wjen you focus it can be a pain. I would recommend it overall

Nieces favourite toy ever, also fantastic learning device.I highly recommend as an addition to any young kids, brilliant..

I bought this for the kids to mess about with in lockdown. It is very light weight and smaller than my hand. The phone clip came with it as did one glass slide. I thought that it might be complicated to get it to work with your phone, but it’s really easy, just put the camera hole of the phone over the microscope viewer and put the phone camera on! Even I could do it! I didn’t trust the clip to keep my phone in place securely as it is only just holding on to the very edge of it, so I held it. Kids aged 9 and 11 were able to use it without much input from me, which is what homeschooling is all about.8The image on the phone is round, which geniuses might have already figured out, but I was expecting a whole screen image because I’m stupid.Ps I just went back to look at the ad and info film about this microscope and they have full screen images, not just a small round picture. I need to play around with it a bit to see how to do that.

This microscope is truly outstanding. I bought it for inspection work and biological analysis, for which it is perfect and clear with an easy to use high zoom rate. The unit is extremely easy to use and apply both at home and in the field, it’s portable and can be used by anyone at any skill level. At home, my wife enjoys using it for her arts and crafts inspections of gemstones and crystals, and what is always fun to use it on weekends with the kids in the garden to look at water samples and biological material, leaves, sand, etc. It truly is an all round product which is as good for professional work, classroom work, to hobby work.I particularly like the smartphone adaptor clip which is included in the package free of charge, it fits my iphone as well as my son’s android, and I’m sure it will fit any other smartphone type device in the market. The clip/adapter is easy to fit and extremely easy to centre. It allows me to take pictures of my work, but also add additional zoom via the phone lens! I enjoy uploading my images to various social media, and I can easily share my research in the field with colleagues in the office by emailing pictures directly from my smartphone.Without hesitation, best value for money microscope in the market, and highly recommended.
