Carson MicroBrite Plus 60-120x Pocket Microscope

I thought I’d buy it and just out of curiosity look at leaves or small things a few times, but it actually came in handy for checking knife sharpness, and also helped me verify the quality of leathers for leathercraft – under the microscope various structural defects appeared that were not visible before dyeing. I recommend it.

A present for a six-year-old, which he liked very much. From spring, it will accompany us during trips. Well made, easy to adjust focus and change magnification level.

Microscope bought as a Christmas gift for my son, checked beforehand – first at home on needles from the Christmas tree :), on products from the fridge, and then outside, it really worked very well, I recommend it.

A very cool gadget. Indispensable on holidays when you need a bit of peace from the kids ;) Sometimes also useful in electronics, for example to check the quality of connections.

Great pocket microscope for people who go outdoors a lot and want to quickly check what lives in the water. I recommend it, as it's cheap.

For me, this is a real discovery – more practical than an ordinary magnifying glass and smaller than a microscope, and also portable. A really cool gadget for kids on forest trips, it also works great at home and provides a lot of fun discovering the micro-world. I recommend it!

I bought it as a gadget and was pleasantly surprised that it really works and allows you to look at many interesting things. My daughter is delighted, and after a while I regret not buying the version with a clip for the phone, as it would have been more convenient to observe objects. Nevertheless, an exceptionally good microscope for the money. Pity there weren’t things like this when I was a child.

Fantastic gadget not only for walks with children, quality is top-level, you can take great magnification photos with your phone through the optics, the focus adjusts very well.

Great purchase for a small price. You can observe nature, check various defects – I use it to inspect car parts, for small cracks or scratches invisible without magnification.

Excellent pocket device for inspecting small items that are difficult to see with the naked eye, with good optics and a low price. It could be a perfect gift not only for children.

An interesting gadget, well made. Small, lightweight, ideal for children. It’s not professional equipment, more of a practical toy.

Microscope as described. The image quality matches the price, but the very good lighting significantly facilitates observations. On the downside, you have to adjust the focus every time you change magnification, which may be problematic for children.

Great educational equipment. Carefully made and surprisingly effective. Even lighting and a sufficient focus adjustment range. It will satisfy the curiosity of not only children.

In my opinion, the downside is the 'inverted' image you see... at least for me. I was looking for something to examine a pen nib at high magnification. Unfortunately, this 'inverted' image makes it difficult and uncomfortable to do.

The magnifier is very nice. The objects are well lit, the image is clear. One star less for the lack of a cover for the optics, which makes it hard to treat it as fully pocket-sized.
