Review on 🔬 Carson Field Microscope MM-450, Blue, with LED Lighted Zoom and Aspheric Lens System (20x-60x) by Dushawn Walker

I read many reviews to find out what microscope magnification is right for my purposes and people's answers were correct: 20x to 60x. I also read some reviews about this microscope not working and the reviewers "saw nothing", but there were enough counterarguments to convince me to buy the Carson PocketMicro 20x-60x. I can add to those who claim it works. The most difficult part is pointing the microscope at the object and focusing it. When I put the microscope in the center where I suspected the object, sometimes I couldn't see anything. Sometimes I had to switch the microscope several times before I got a "hit". Moving the microscope to try and pick up an object for viewing was sometimes difficult (and I thought I should move in the OPPOSITE direction), and I had to experiment with zoom and focus. Sometimes I experimented too much and lost focus on the topic. Not knowing which way to zoom and focus can be frustrating and I think a larger lens will help solve this problem and let more people understand (or understand sooner) that it works. The lens could have been a lot bigger, but the microscope is still pocket-sized! What I didn't like that it didn't come with AA batteries. I'd rather pay 50 cents or a dollar more for the included alkaline battery - nobody wants to have a PocketMicro and not be able to try it right away because it's not the right size or type. The battery is easily accessible. I've found that placing an object to be viewed on a piece of cardboard, centering the PocketMicro lens over the object, and slowly moving the cardboard (instead of a microscope) makes it faster/easier to "find" the object there ", where it can be viewed with a small lens. I think the compactness of the microscope also meant that some of my lashes were captured (reflected)! So in this case you need to change the position of the eye. If you wear glasses and are concerned about not being able to operate this microscope, there is no need to wear glasses - the zoom is designed to compensate for your poor eyesight! I hesitated several times before deciding to order this micro plant and I do not regret my decision. I've used it for various things out of curiosity, "just to see". It's worth the price and I suspect it works better than a children's (toy) microscope that costs two to three times as much.
