Mini microscope

By rebecca | Posted in Buy Stuff, Gadgets |

 SE Mini 45x Brass Microscope with Illuminator

128 reviews (5 stars: 68; 1 star: 12)

List Price: $8.85

Price: $3.51

The most helpful positive review is from a verified customer who was pleasantly surprised with its powerful features despite the low price. This product was described to be more effective and much easier to use than the Belomo loupe which costs 10 times as much.  Its potent LED illuminator is a great feature, although the customer wouldn’t mind paying more for a better-working switch.

The most helpful negative review from a verified customer points to the product’s lack of durability since it’s made of plastic. The client had problems with the battery cap popping off. 

Conclusion: For its low price, the microscope gives good magnification hence great for outdoor inspection of pollens and insects.  Since durability is an issue, the user has to be more careful to avoid breakage.
