I am very sorry that I can't figure out how to use this. There is no directions enclosed. Maybe you can only use it on flat surfaces, I don't know.

It might have a chance if a stand were offered to hold the phone with the microscope. I should have had a heads up when the demonstration was only on leaves and paper bills.

The manufacturer's ad accurately describes the product and it's purpose and performance honestly.
This is certainly not the highest quality but for the money it works just fine for what many people will need.
The magnetic holder is a nice little added feature.

Worth the money. My home schooler loves to use this all the time.

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2021

Color: GreyStyle: MicroMini + ClipVerified Purchase

Looking for a small microscope for say homeschooling, or just to keep a kid interested, this is a beyond wonderful deal. I got it when someone in my Facebook homeschooling group suggested it. I though why not look it up. I was Amazed at the price. My niece loves to go outside and look at stuff now. This works great with Apple and Galaxy phones. Not sure about the other phones. It clips on the side of your phone with the one side over the camera lenses. I had a old Galaxy phone that had no service, that I keep charged up so she isn't using my phone all the time. You can also take pics of what your looking at. I wouldn't suggest this for a highschooler, but the younger grades it is a winner.

Super pour le prix !

Reviewed in France on June 13, 2023

Color: GreyStyle: MicroMini + ClipVerified Purchase

Format d'un tout petit microscope de poche il s'attache au son pince par des aiments, puis le pince se fixe sur votre telephone portable. A premier regarde, ce qu'on voit est un tunnel avec l'image au fond mais il suffit de zoomer l'image et fait le mise au point sur votre appli photo et on voit facilement les objets d'un taille 1/10eme d'un millimetre ! Certes, 20X et un grossissement tres puissante et ça ne convient pas aux insectes vivants qui bouge ! Si votre portable porte un coque avec des bordes surélevées, ou deux appareils photos (donc deux objectifs), l'alignement ne sera pas parfait mais c'est pas grave du tout et ne gene pas vraiment son fonctionnement. Qualité d'image et tres bien pour un tel petit prix. Il y a un forte abbérration chromatique mais ça se vois pas sauf dans les conditions de haute contraste, par example text blanc sur fond noir. Notice livrée en anglais mais la version française est disponible en ligne.

Nice gadget. The optical quality is surprisingly good and the zooming effect is quite powerful. The only not so great part is tat it doesn't fit quite well with my iPhone 13. But you can use it just fine with your naked eye.
