This is a picture of a small rodent jaw bone taken on my iPhone then shown using the pocket microscope. Pictures speak for themselves. These were only on the 50xs setting. Easy to set up easy to use-Very impressed

For the price point it meets and I would even say slightly exceeds my expectations. I am a Cosmetology Instructor and I got this to look up close at skin and hair folicles. It is a great tool for upclose and hands on viewing.

Not bad, but magnification claims are very suspect.Images are not sharp (This scope's megapixels come in at slightly less than 1MP), but you can see much greater detail in the images than with your eyes. Photos are of Roosevelt's Ear on a dime and Washington's right eye on a dollar.Final magnification depends on your display. On my 1920x1080 laptop screen, top magnification is about 75x. You won't get 1000x on anything less than a massive tv screen, and even then it will not be pretty.Takes good photos if you're not pushing it too hard. Its even pretty good when the stability isn't great, like if you're holding it while taking photos. You just have to have a steady hand.It comes with 2 clear bezels that hold the scope up. One gets you a little closer than the other, which accommodates larger subject matter.The app that you can use on your phone or tablet is primitive and a little janky, but it works.It doesn't come with a charger and specifies that you use a 5V 1A charger. I would recommend sticking to that. If you don't have one in a drawer somewhere, order it at the same time.In the end, it can let you see things you probably never saw before or your kids could explore the microscopic world without worrying too much about the cost, but if you actually need to see something tiny but clearly, you can do better.
