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.

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.
