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.
Lab Tested Accuracy – Engineered and tested to provide truly accurate magnification, 120x optical zoom and reliable performance you can trust.
Pocket Microscope – The MicroBrite Plus LED Pocket Microscope is compact and lightweight, making it the perfect educational toy for portable use as a field microscope or classrom lab microscope.
Educational Toy – Add this STEM toy to any classroom science kit to bring educational content to life. The MicroBrite encourages hands-on exploration and a deeper understanding of the natural world
Bright LED Illumination – The built-in advanced light system of this handheld microscope for kids evenly shines bright LED light onto specimen to provide clear vision and accurate observations.
High Magnification – With a versatile magnification range of 60x to 120x, the MicroBrite can adapt to any experiment, providing stunning accuracy and precision when viewing prepared microscope slides or everyday objects under the microscope.
Customers say
Customers find this microscope to be a great tool that works well and offers good value for money. The magnification is amazing, and they appreciate its compact size that makes it perfect for taking anywhere. The clarity and ease of use receive mixed feedback – while some praise the vivid detail and find it easy to use, others report difficulty seeing anything and find it impossible to use. The microscope is very hard to focus, particularly on plants.
