One of my favourite gadgets!
What an amazing thing I never knew existed! This is permanently on my keys now for identifying any small bugs and beasties or other microscopic organisms! I absolutely love it! I must for any science lovers!

Small but useful
Very useful pocket magnifier, with built in torch/illuminator with bonus uv light. Nice little device, small enough to fit in a pocket or on a keyring (not sure I'd use it as a keyring tho as it would probably break away from the chain) but I keep mine in my toolbox at work and it has proved useful many times for infection of print details. Good magnification, useful features, small (approx 2" x 2" x 1", so not much bigger than a matchbox) very useful, good price, arrived quickly.

Fits into a child’s pocket
Fantastic magnify. Bought for my grandson who was thrilled. Took it to fountains abbey to examine lichen and stones and everything else. But sadly it fell out of this 7 year olds pocket and was lost. We’re hoping another small child found it and is enjoying it as much.

Este pequeño microscopio nos ha encantado a mi hijo y a mí. Su aumento es muy moderado, pero para algo tan pequeño es excelente, las cosas se ven nitidas, con muy poca distorsión, y su precio es muy accesible. Me parece que es excelente para que los peques empiecen a adentrarse en el reino de las cosas microscópicas, pueden ver estructura de las telas, hojas, papel, etc.

Mein kleiner liebt es. Egal wo wir sind, alles wird unter die Lupe genommen. Blätter, steine oder Ameisen. Alles wird sich genau angeschaut. Sehr tolles Produkt.

Eu tenho este modelo de 20x e o de 60x-120x. Prefiro este do que o outro pelos seguintes motivos: 20x pode parecer pouco, mas não é, você vai se impressionar em quanto isto significa ao utilizá-lo. Quanto mais magnificação, mais difícil é obter o foco, mais difícil é centralizar o assunto e mais difícil é de reconhecer o que está sendo analisado. Um simples furo na mesa vira uma cratera reconhecível, já em um microscópio com mais de 60x, você perceberá a textura mais ampliada, mas terá dificuldade em ver todo o contexto. Com 20x, a proposta de sair e explorar é mais funcional, com 60x em muitos casos você terá de apoiar o assunto em uma superfície ou não conseguirá focar. A construção dele não é das melhores, aparenta uma certa fragilidade, mas a óptica da Carson é muito boa (excelente nitidez, quase livre de aberrações e distorções), ficando acima de modelos genéricos similares.
