This compact microscope works very well, especially for checking the edge of a knife while sharpening. Although the magnification is rather low, I can see everything very clearly, and the illumination function allows you to work even in low light (although I can't imagine sharpening a knife in complete darkness :) ).
Pocket microscope that allows for 20x magnification. It is compact, portable and easy to use. It is equipped with a key ring, which allows you to attach it to any bag or backpack, or keys. This way you can always have it with you.
The model is characterized by an LED that illuminates the observed object, providing a bright and clear image. The microscope uses UV light, so it can be used to detect counterfeit banknotes, stains invisible in daylight, and identify minerals.

Great mini microscope, I also have a bigger one, but this one works much better outdoors thanks to easier focus adjustment. Quality and price – as always with Carson – impeccable.

This small but ingenious device is perfect for observing micro-details. It has two-stage illumination and a UV light option, which may prove useful in various situations.

I have to admit, this is an exceptional pocket microscope – easy to use, yet offering high optical quality. It's a great tool for both children and adult lovers of discovering the world. Thanks to its compact size and durable build, it works everywhere, and the attractive price makes it accessible for everyone. Advantages: small, fits everywhere; 3 diodes (1 UV, 2 LED); ergonomic shape, although best used with both hands; very light and compact. Disadvantages: no optics protection – a case or lens cover would be useful. However, the microscope itself is really excellent.

I got it as a gift from my dad. Small, but very practical. I always thought a microscope had to be large and heavy, but here it's just a bit of plastic, lenses, and LEDs... It may not look very robust, but the functionality more than makes up for it. High magnification and UV work great, for instance, when checking banknotes.

Carson MicroMini is not only a great mini gadget, but also a very practical tool. I'm fully satisfied with the image and build quality. I recommend it!
-
Great little device, I also have a bigger microscope, but this one is better in the field because it's easier to set up – the focus adjustment isn't as delicate as in larger models. Price and quality, as always with Carson – top notch.

For some time, I had been looking for a mobile microscope for PCB inspection. This model is sufficient and extremely practical. It also has a torch function and UV light. I always keep it in my backpack, as a traditional magnifier just doesn't cut it any more, especially with increasingly smaller circuits.

A small and practical microscope – you can attach it to your keys and always have it at hand. The magnification isn’t impressive, but for occasional use it’s enough. It depends on what you use it for. I most often check nibs and grain in fountain pens, but it's also suitable for verifying banknotes.
-
Great price, very solid construction, small size and high practicality – how could you not want such a device? It's come in handy for me many times already, because not everything can be seen with the naked eye.
-
Great value for money; comfortable and handy – and for the sceptics: this device isn't intended for professional scientific research...
-
I took advantage of the KSK promotion and bought this device quite cheaply... but I was amazed at how many details you can see with 20x magnification. Now I carry it in my EDC and several times already the microscope has proved useful in helping colleagues at work remove tiny metal shavings, splinters, or chips. So it can be considered very useful as part of a first aid kit. Who would have thought...
-
I didn't expect to be this satisfied.
-
Great gadget, always at hand because you can use it as a keyring – especially for kids. The curious can easily count a bug's legs, examine a splinter or thorn in a finger, or just check what other interesting things can be found under the lens wherever they are. A small trinket, but it brings a lot of joy!
-
Nice for observing nature, and also very compact.
