I never even knew these existed until I found one at the mall for $9. Didn't expect it to be much more than a strong magnifying glass. When I used it, I was extremely impressed. I'm now using it as a tool to observe plant life since I study medicinal plants as a hobby. Best tool by far. Didn't want to spend $1,200 on a full size microscope.
Yeah this thing is great for geology too even in field use. I used to use one of those little metal Loupe thingies. Now I replaced it with this since you can see details a lot better thanks to the led light and higher magnification.
Great little microscope bought a pack of 4 a few months back under £10 each . Great for the Grand children too. Useful for looking at leaves, flowers & Wasp Galls. Was amazes how well it works. Showed how wonderful a Silk Spangle Gall looked when looking through a microscope at it on an Oak leaf ! Recommend to anyone after a pocket microscope!
I do have one and I have to say that it’s a pretty decent microscope just really simple. The only thing that’s a little annoying about it is that you have to be sure that you’re not moving your hands to much otherwise it can be a little shaky and that’s one issue I can have sometimes but other than that it does work out really well and I do really enjoy it!!👍
If anyone ended up here looking for cool new things to look at, try finding a dead fly in a window sill! Just make sure there's nothing hard or breakable behind you, cuz I just crashed into the dinner table when some tiny maggot looking thing crawled out of an exoskeleton cavern I was following. Holy shit that was an experience.
@@midgetman4206 It was! My heart still doesn't quite beat right when looking at dead bugs, terrified something will start moving lmao. aha, I ended up ordering that one like a day or 2 after writing this comment! It's pretty sweet but I don't have ready access to any bio-diverse bodies of water and have failed to really see anything move on the slide. (I've tried stagnant water from a park and some rehydrated bread yeast so far) I work in a kitchen though and it just occurred to me that a sample of the dishwasher's drain might have something fun to look at, I'll try to grab one tomorrow. If only it were strong enough for me to go looking for salmonella in chicken blood :P
bought one for my 8 yr old daughter....great little educational tool for less than $15.....excellent optical quality and very simple to use when your kids learn to keep their hands still
Its a great product got 1 not that brand but identical. If you get 1 try and look at old coins, money notes, they a more detailed than you think. just get old coins not in use anymore, so you get the micro scratches. Then try a really old moneybill, and then a new one, try with a tiny AA batt powered UV light and see all the new safety features
It would have benn great if you could have taken some tiny objects with known size, and then shown how they look through the microscope. We then know what the magnification would be like.
Thank you for the feedback! We will keep it in mind for future videos. In the meantime, if you would like us to take a specific picture for you, please let us know and we can email it to you.
Hello: The magnification of the MM-300 is too high for the uses mentioned. Ideally you would want around 10-20x. Our MM-280, MicroMini might be a better option for your needs. Let us know if you have any other questions.
To learn the species of spiders, I need to be able to take pictures of the spider's genitalia. Arachnologists usually use professional microscopes at 40x-60x or they use very expensive macro lenses. I wonder if this pocket microscope will be enough for this? I just have to see the characteristics of their organs.
Hi, Can I inspect cloth with the microscope? Or the 60x is way more zoom to inspect a cloth? Like cloth pattern can be can be inspect with sich level of zoom. Could not it be better with a microscope which zoom range is 20x - 120x ?
You almost need to be touching the item you are trying to view. Like the microscope needs to be sitting on a flat surface & whatever you're trying to view needs to be able to slide under the little gap you see on the clear visor part. So trying to view anything by just holding the microscope from any distance can be very tricky. So you need to have a really steady hand & get as close as possible to get a clear image. And as if that isn't already tricky enough, the image is flipped, so you also need to move up if you want to view down & move left if you want to view to the right, it's a total head fk.
Yeah get the Gosky digiscoping adapter. It's awesome and you can attach it to any optic. Microscope, spotting scope, astronomy telescope, heat vision, night vision, rangefinder. You can also just hold the phone to it but the adapter makes it more steady and keeps the phone in position so you can get clearer image and video.
Hi! Both have high quality aspheric optics, so the lens quality is very similar. The MP-250 has a higher powered lens system compared to MM-300, which gives you a smaller field of view, but increased close-up magnification. Hopefully this helps! If you have any additional questions, feel free to give us a call at 631-963-5000.
@@nikola_tesla8454 After turning on the LED with the button, always start on the lowest magnification (60x on zoom wheel), and *very* slowly turn the focus knob through the range until you get your image in crisp focus. While adjusting the focus, when you put your eye quite close to the eyepiece, you should still see a white circle, and as you get into focus your image will appear instead. Also, reminder that any object has to be place directly below the microscope without any gap ( see 1:23 of video as reference).
Hi Karim: To be able to see gold atoms, you would likely need a high powered electron microscope. You should however be able to see gold crystals with the MM-300. Most people use a 10x jeweler loupe to identify crystals, a 60x microscope might also work but it might be more difficult to find the crystals.
Mine must be brain damaged. I can't get it to focus properly and all I want is to look at the edge of a straight razor...I'm sending the damn thing back..no time for foolin' around..

Ideally, 600x-1000x is more appropriate to study human blood cells. Animal blood cells can be much larger and viewable at this microscope’s magnification level.
I got one of these a year ago and it's probably the best value to prize item I have EVER bought in my entire life. I never get tired of it.

CarsonOptical can you view bacteria with this microscope?
Bella 5 No. Bacteria is too small for this microscope to see.You Need 1000x magnification to see bacteria.

Hey question. So I got the 250× one and I love it so much. Do you guys sale higher then 250x? I wanna zoom deeper ☹️
Hello: We do not have anything more powerful than 250x in the Pocket Microscope category at this time.
@@CarsonOptical OK Thanks would be amazing though lol
Would this be good for analysing jewellery and reading serial numbers laser etched in precious stones like diamonds?

I am thinking this might be useful for looking at circuit boards. Along with a lot of other things. And just for fun.
It would be awesome to have a model that goes beetween 60x and 250x. I would be willing to pay even more for it

Can you observe eukaryotic cells and bacteria with this?
Generally speaking, the answer is yes. There are many differently sized bacteria for example, so larger ones are viewable. Hope this helps!
Mine is just blurry... wtf??

How can I use this to see trichomes on plants? Without a steady surface it is really hard to get a sharp image…
Unfortunately you get what you pay for😒
I’m having trouble observing protozoa
i'm trying to use it on plants, but i can't have a clear image for more than 0.1 sec. i can't use it smoothly like in the video
Hi, please give us a call and we will walk you through it, 631-963-5000. It is important to focus slowly until you get a clear image.
How did you capture the footages of the scope? Is there a camera attachment you can get?
