Does this pocket microscope work on 3D (not flat) objects?

YES, but practice focusing and examining flat objects first. A 3D object will work if placed near (but not inside) the bottom of microscope (clear part), but if you pre-focus the microscope on a flat object first, it will be much easier.

I'm looking at an object like a stamp and image is upside down / reversed. Is that right?

YES, most microscopes do this. For handheld microscopes, the optical system flips and reverses the image, while magnifying it. This allows for an affordable and compact design. The microscope isn't broken, that's just how a pocket microscope works

What kind of things can I review with this microscope?

The MicroBrite can examine a diverse range of subjects, such as fabric, grass, sand, hair, skin, bugs, stamps or even a pineapple or worm! You can even observe larger microorganisms like bacteria, blood, germs, paramecium and euglena!

Can I use a smartphone with this microscope to take images and video?

The MM-300 version does not have a smartphone adapter, but you can buy the MM-310 adapter separate to work with it OR you can buy the MM-350 that comes with both the microscope and the smartphone adapter.

How do I get the best image when focusing with this portable microscope?

Always practice focusing on a flat object at the lowest power setting. Slowly turn the knob until you get close to seeing a focused image. Then turn the knob extremely slowly to get the perfect focus. Then up the power setting and slightly refocus.

Good Product but overpriced

It is good product and has good magnification but is a bit overpriced for size and quality as it is made in China. Good and easy to use though :)

Muito legal para os mini exploradores

Muuito legal! Precisa de uma pilha AA para ligar a luz. Achei o produto muito bem feito, simples e bem intuitivo. Minha filha de 7 anos amou e eu também. Bem interessante para explorar de perto diversas superfícies e materiais, folhinhas, bixinhos! Incentiva o lado cientista explorador das crianças. Gostei!

📝 DESCRIPCIÓN Microscopio de bolsillo con iluminación led y aumento de 120x Modelo similar con pantalla: https://amzn.to/47sJdhX 🧾 ESPECIFICACIONES: • Medidas: 8 x 2 x 5 cm • Batería: 1 pila AA (No incluida) • Aumento: 60-120X • Material: Plástico • Peso: 70g 💶 PRECIO - 4 de Enero de 2022: 24,66€ 📦 CONTENIDO 1 - Microscopio 🟢 PROS • Económico • Fácil de usar • Comentó e • Viene con iluminación led * Buen aumento * Resultados increíbles 🔴 CONTRAS • No viene con pila • No tiene Manual de instrucciones 8️⃣ VALORACIÓN Cogí este microscopio como regalo 🎁 de navidad 🎄 y no pude probarlo hasta el verano (lo había perdido). Lo cogí pe tener un bulto más y por las buenas valoraciones que tenía. La verdad, es que aún viendo las imágenes de otros usuarios, me sorprendió la capacidad que tiene para poder escribir nuevos mundos en pequeñas cosas diminutas. Viene con un botón para encender una luz 💡 led y una palanca para ir caminando el aumento desde 60x a 120x. Puedes usar todos los valores de aumento en ese rango. Con aumentos tan grandes es muy sensible a cualquier movimiento y pierdes fácilmente el foco. Hay que armarse de paciencia. En algunas plantas 🌱 que estuve observando, si eran un poco altas, no llegaba a enfocar bien y tenía que elevar sobre algo el microscopio 🔬. Puedes usar el móvil 📱 para generar imágenes o vídeos, pero no tiene un soporte habilitado para ello y cualquier movimiento pierdes el foco. ✅ CONCLUSIÓN Un microscopio 🔬 con una buena relación calidad/precio de lo mejor que encontré en Amazon. Cumple perfectamente con su función y me resulta útil para tener por casa y no usar prestado el del trabajo. Es muy fácil de utilizar y cuenta con varias funciones de cálculo. 👍 MUY RECOMENDABLE ✳️ Espero que mi comentario ✍️ te haya podido servir de ayuda 😃
