This review is from: Carson MA-30 Magni Scope Pocket Microscope (Sports)

For a budget microscope this device is pretty darn good but the added functionality of a useable 8x20 monocular is pretty cool too. I needed a cheap portable desk miscroscope for examining components and this will work for me just fine. As for the lack of a case? well I used a tubular pencil case that I found and that's good enough to keep it clean when it's assembled.

Handy little product for those who have a need for such a thing. Not fully a microscope (too small, no light source) and not fully a scope (again, too small) but perfect for lightweight camping/hiking. However, you will have to make a case for it because none is supplied (a cloth bag would have been nice). Instructions for usage are inadequate.

I bought this as a present from my adult brother and he got a big kick out of it. He tells me all the kids in the extended family don't want to leave it alone. Also that it seems nicely made and works well.
