Review on πŸ”¬ Beileshi 60x Zoom Microscope Magnifier with LED + UV Light: Universal Clip-on Micro Lens for Smartphones - iPhone 7 Plus/7/6s/6/5, Samsung, HTC by Anthony Robichaud

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Reasonable price for what it is - be patient to find out how to use it

We bought this for my daughter's science fair project and overall I was very happy with the results. A few notes for the average user: 1) The lens basically has to be on the subject in order to be able to focus it. It took us a while to figure out exactly how to get a sharp image, and I've used microscopes in the past (though not the kind that attaches to a phone case). 2) It is small and light weight, easy to put in your pocket for outdoor activities. (But remember #1, you can't drop this thing on, say, an insect without finding one that doesn't mind being practically obscured by the lens. 3) The magnification isn't great . enough to see microorganisms. We checked the magnification required before buying so we knew in advance but I don't think you can buy this to look at bacteria or anything like that. 4) For what you get, it's a pretty reasonable price. (The attached image is a bacterial culture grown in a Petri dish.)

Pros
  • Lens attachments
Cons
  • Pretty much everything is fine
