Review on 🔬 Carson MicroFlip MP-250 or MP-250MU Pocket Microscope: 100x-250x LED and UV Lighted, Flip Down Slide Base, Smartphone Digiscoping Clip by Loren Jacobson

Media failed to load. Images from start to finish: tissue paper at 100x and 250x, a small shamrock at 100x, a "clean" drop of water from my aquarium at 250x. For €20 I wasn't expecting much. I was expecting the lighting to be of poor quality and the magnification to be lower than advertised or incorrectly increased (i.e. the image was simply enlarged 100x without increasing the resolution). It's not like that at all. This little plastic rectangle has some good original lenses and is relatively easy to use. I think a lot of those who say it's difficult to use have never used or practiced a microscope before - it's about as difficult to focus as a much larger desktop endoscope. A downside is that the included slide is covered with a frosted coverslip. Why? This makes it completely unusable. I'll get some more slides but this seems a bit silly. The telephone attachment is also a bit awkward to use (but fully functional).
