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 Vanessa Lee

Photographs from first to last: tissue paper at 100x and 250x, small clover at 100x, 'clean' water droplet from my tank at 250x. Don't expect much for $20. I was expecting that the lighting would be of poor quality and the magnification would be lower than advertised or incorrectly increased (i.e. only enlarged the image 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 disadvantage is that the supplied slide has a frosted cover glass. 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).
