nice for the money by Mark Godfrey 5 Stars
October 23, 2009
Very inexpensive, seems to do the job just fine. One odd thing is that the image is reversed, so it does make it hard to move to the target sometimes, but you get used to it. Not sure if all microscopes do this (ie., the more expensive ones). Maybe they all do it. In any event, for $5 you can't beat this item.

This thing doesn't work well at all. I can get it to kind of work if I hold it right up to certain things, but not most.

cheaply made, did not work by krf (Texas) 1 Stars

The title of this review totally sums up my experience with this product. It did not work at all, even after replacing the batteries twice.

very prompt, as a matter of fact, they sent it out a lot faster than amazon sent my other order...

Pocket Microscope Magnifier by Noelani (Hawaii) 5 Stars

My fifth grade scientists totally love this product for looking at the class collection of rocks and minerals. The pocket microscopes are very portable which makes observation outdoors easy. Science became much more interesting with tools that are fairly low in cost.
