Awesome submitted by garapatisriram on July 17, 2013, 1:45pm I could see a lot of things with this microscope

Great! submitted by crazypockets on August 30, 2013, 9:21pm What a fun tool! I took this up north when my very sciency little cousins were going to be up there, and they had a lot of fun looking at things close-up with the microscope. We didn't try out the feature to upload pictures to a computer, but I would really like to try that sometime. What a cool idea!

Small Things MAde Big submitted by Beth Manuel on June 30, 2014, 9:34am This is a great tool, and can even be hooked up to upload pictures of what you look at. Technology blows my mind.

wow submitted by Dron.Druheen on August 13, 2015, 5:38pm looks pretty easy to use

frustrating: poor interface, poor battery life submitted by bfields on March 12, 2019, 5:55pm The one I checked out would only last a few seconds on a newly-charged battery (I tried several), with 3 LEDs on. Online reviews suggest this is not unusual.

The user interface is rather confusing, depending on long-presses of buttons that aren't labeled well.

At least by default the colors seemed very off, with white for example looking very blue-ish. There's a menu item that looks like it might help, but I wasn't able to figure out how to change that setting in the limited time that fresh batteries would give me.

Interesting submitted by c_zhang on June 19, 2019, 9:05pm This was kind of hard to use. It was interesting though.

Microscope submitted by JY 2005 on June 23, 2019, 12:33am I really like how you could look at many things outside with such precision. It is also very convenient, small and light.

Portable Digital Microscope submitted by Varshini on June 24, 2019, 7:54pm I needed this for one of my Biology Labs, and since I don't own a digital microscope, this was very helpful.

Great microscope, battery should have been charged submitted by Mieke on August 13, 2019, 5:06am This is a fun microscope and easy to use - even for my 10-year-old! My only complaint is that it came with rechargeable batteries, but they were almost dead when we got it. Thankfully we have a battery charger, but not everyone does. It would make a lot of sense to make sure all the items that are available to check out that require batteries, come with the batteries fully charged. It’s kind of a bummer to bring something home and then have to wait hours to use it until the batteries are charged.
