Digital Mini Microscope for Kids, 100x-1000x Handheld Microscope with 32GB SD Card & Battery
SKU: GW45.0084
It's certainly not a professional-quality microscope, but it's not intended to be. It's a toy and a pretty good one. It's small, light, and will fit a child's hand well, and is simple to use. It comes with a mini SD card installed, a USB C cord for charging and connecting to a computer, and several microscopic slides containing such things as dandelion fuzz and goldfish scales.
It has built-in LED lights to light up whatever you're looking at and the brightness level is adjustable. Magnification is 100X to 1000X and there is a conveniently located focus wheel. It even functions as a camera and a telescope, which is fun.
The viewing screen flips out from the side. The screen is tiny, but, with a little fiddling with the focus wheel, the image is relatively clear. Images can be saved as either photos or videos or watched live on the screen or on a computer screen when attached via the USB cord.
The unit is plastic, and although it seems sturdy enough I doubt if it would survive a drop onto a hard surface. There is a hand strap on the side to help prevent drops and steady the unit.
Overall, it's a good child's toy with some cool features and most kids interested in studying the natural world should be fascinated with it.

This is a beautiful, small microscope with amazing magnification. My kids love playing with this and trying to explore new things. It is easier to use and carry around than traditional microscopes. I highly recommend it.

Got this for my six year old. She loves playing scientist and this was the perfect gift! Compact and easy for her to use. I was happy it was ready to go as soon as she opened it. Picture quality is good.

We bought this microscope for our 12 year old son for his birthday and it exceeded our expectations, providing amazing detail and clarity! Very interesting! My son loves it!

Fired this up right out the box. Simple controls via push button and rolling focuser. It’s lightweight, has a Velcro strap to secure hand to unit. It magnifies from 100x-1000x and if you don’t remember the side focus roller you’re probably just gonna get blurt. Once I used that I seen things much more clearly at all levels. It’s powered by a lithium battery that can be charged quickly by usb cable. The screen is small (2”) but you can connect to pc and view which makes for some nice pictures. It also takes video too! My one concern is this - it’s plastic. And with a fold out viewer I can see it breaking easily in a little ones hands.

I'm an engineer and I got this microscope for my daughter's 9th birthday. She likes to catch bugs and look at them. To be honest I didn't even read the instructions, didn't really need to, the controls are quite intuitive and easy to use. This microscope also came with it's own micro-SD card, which means you don't have to buy one which is great. I guess I should also mention that the microscope allows you to take pictures and video which stores to the micro-SD card. I would recommend this for anyone with a inquisitive youngster who likes to study things up close, my daughter really likes it.

This little gadget is incredible. It's easy to focus and the images are clear at all magnifications. It's stunning to see so much detail. The controls are very easy to use -- my only [very petty] gripe is that they are hard to see -- there is no contrast -- they're embossed in white plastic -- a little black paint would have been nice to make them more distinguishable. It's a 5-star product and it's not just for kids. Try looking at a butterfly's wing with this -- it's breathtaking and magical.

Very impressive handheld microphone. Comes with USB charging cable, slides, and micro SD card. Very easy to use. Incredible level of zoom, up to 400X. Easy to make digital photos. Easy to focus with big focus ring in side. This would be great for teachers, scientists, kids, artists- everyone! Perhaps one of the best microscopes I’ve ever used. Very very impressive. Highly recommended!

This is such a fun device for any budding scientist! We got this for our 6 year old who loves to observe bugs, and it’s been so much fun to take it outside and look at all the little bugs on tree bark and on the pathways. The magnification is surprisingly good, and the image is very clear, even at the highest mag. You can charge it as needed and it has its own light function. Really cool!!
