I use this for checking gold ore samples in the field as well as general looking at the microscopic world.
The LED light is great but I did have one problem. I left it on and the next time I tried to use it the light would not work.... dead batteries. Unfortunately the batteries cost near $5 each times 3= $15.
All is not lost however. The Rite Aid (Pharmacy) had hearing aid batteries that, while not the same type as the listed required batteries, were the same physical size but were 1.4 volts instead of 1.5. I did not feel that this would be an issue and decided to try it. They worked just fine and were $16 for 24 of them, so about $.67 each. Much better and I now have 8 changes in case I forget to turn it off again.
The replacement type I found was Size 312, hearing aid batteries.

i actually bought this so i can inspect plant resin on my flowers to see when they are ready to harvest. but i find it's so easy to get carried away with it. wall's, carpet, leaves, pet fur, sugar on the table, bugs, dirt, lol if it was in my house i inspected it. it's lots of fun. i only wish i could see the air on a microscopic level. but we cant have everything. all in all its a great buy.

The Carson MM-200 is a fantastic bit of equipment. The size is just slightly larger than what the photo shows on the product page. It is TINY!! The product quality, however, is excellent. It has a great LED lamp, and I haven't had it long enough to comment on the battery life. It is WAY better than the previous ones I have owned with regular little bulbs which gives everything an orange hue, or the LED ones which are flimsy as heck.
I use it for various things: from checking out small bug-things on plants to fine details on stamps or even just my arm (for a laugh!). It really is quite versatile and has great magnification!
Now for the bad. It is TINY!!! The knobs are a bit fiddly specially when you're using one hand and need to adjust the focus. The other pocket scopes I have tried usually have a larger gripping area and larger dials. Hopefully it will loosen up with some use.
Other than its size (which I do very much like for convenience, but is a bit fiddly), it is a great scope.
A good alternative, for those with waning coordination, might be a pocket USB microscope, or even one of the larger varieties from Carson!

Limited in scope (pardon the pun...)
For a quick and dirty peek at something, this works well. It is hard to keep things in focus and not move the image because the device is small and hard to keep in a fixed... Read more

You need a microscope to see this microscope
Its 2 inches in overall length. So tiny that I have to put my face practically touching what ever it is I am looking at using it.

not powerful enough
It may be my fault for not investigating sufficiently. I needed a loop for investigating jewelry and found that they weren't strong enough for my eyes. Read more

It's tough to use
It really zooms in on things. However, it's really tough to put it over exactly what I want to look at. It will zoom right down to the nitty-gritty. Read more
