Neat and fun; not a replacement for magnifying glasses
I’m actually surprised how well this works. It magnifies more than I expected (you can see the fibers in paper, for example), and the light makes your subject easy to see in low light. Despite feeling a bit cheap and flimsy, it is very easy to get in focus.I went with this to have around over a magnifying glass. With this the microscope needs to be right on the object, so it might not reach some hard to read things (such as a curved object). As such, it is not a perfect replacement if that is what you need.Despite that, this isn’t necessary just a toy. It works very well for hard to see/read things at twice the magnification of most magnifying glasses. The light is a nice addition, as well as having a UV light; how many people have one of those lying around? Very fun.It is also very small and light. I’ve been easily keeping it in my backpack to show off to friends that I’ve got a handy microscope on me.Biggest downside is I don’t like the button batteries. Not sure how long they last yet. A rechargeable would have been preferable, but maybe the very small size (length is half of my index finger) prohibits that.

A GREAT LITTLE GADGET
I have owned two of these over the past few years. The first one was lost.This is a great little pocket magnifier for rocks, coins, stamps, fingerprints and what ever you wanna look at up close. The led white light works great for viewing and the UVA Ultraviolet light is neat for viewing organic compounds and fluorescent materials.Itâs pretty lightweight but decently durable.

Works well and very easy to use.
This little 20-power magnifier isn’t like the other, more powerful Carson mini-microscopes. The other ones, which are more powerful, use a very tiny objective lens together with a bright LED to provide the light needed to make up for the small objective lens. In those other pocket microscopes, the small objective lens makes focusing vastly easier. This little 20x keychain magnifier uses a more conventional lens arrangement, most likely two, one the objective and the other the eyepiece. The objective lens is probably about 13 mm in diameter, which together with the 20x power means that in daylight you could do without the LED. But with the LED, you get a nice bright image regardless. The focusing isn’t terribly difficult, owing to the magnification not being especially strong. All in all it is a good solution for a 20 x magnifier that you can easily carry on a keychain, if you want. The most noteworthy drawback is that the sliding switch on the side is very cheap and difficult to use. It doesn’t want to move, and when it does, it wants to go all the way from one end to the other. The ‘off’ position is in the center; the two end positions are for the LED you use when using the magnifier, and the auxiliary LED that serves as a flashlight and gives you a reason to carry it on your keychain. It also has a little UV light, which I suppose is for when you look at rocks that glow under UV light. Or maybe for getting a close-up look at scorpions. To make the switch behave, you have to press down on it firmly and move it in a controlled manner. I’m just not sure how long it is going to last when used this way. But it doesn’t cost much so if it eventually stops working it isn’t a big deal, and even without the light it is a useful magnifying lens. Recommended with only the weakest of reservation.

Not great
The item is cheaply made of plastic. The focusing adjustment dial is wonky and difficult to use. It works only on flat surfaces so it’s not useful for using to view minor distance of dimensional objects. A magnifying glass or jeweler’s loupe would be a better investment.

Nice little magnifier.
I like the different light settings. I like the adjustable magnification settings. I can use it for small work.

I got this for my husband for his birthday. He loves it. It has different light features and fits into any pocket. Would buy again and again. Perfect gift for the rock hound

Great little gadget to carry in my pocket. I take it along for walks in the woods. Its interesting to get a close up view of items you’d normally not even be aware of. Good for the price.

Pude ver objetos con gran claridad inclusive comparado con lo de un microscopio! Para ser pequeño es sorprendente porque puede usarse como lampara, ver objetos con su lampara con selección de dos ángulos eso ayuda mucho. Un llavero que no podemos olvidar!
