    Product Description

    Lightweight and portable, the Carson MM-200 MicroMax pocket microscope is ideal for on-the-go science. The MicroMax offers a powerful 60x to 75x magnification range, making it easy to examine blood samples, bugs, and anything else that's worthy of a closer look. The microscope also includes a built-in LED light that provides a bright, clear image, along with a rubberized eyepiece for comfortable viewing. Best of all, the MicroMax fits conveniently in a jacket pocket, so you can bring it along wherever you go--whether it's a school field trip or a visit to a friend's house.

    Please note that users must hold this LED pocket microscope flat against the surface in order for the image to come in clear and in focus. It will be difficult to view objects with the microscope tilted at an angle due to the very high magnifications. CAUTION: If a user is viewing a shiny surface, sometimes the bright LED light will cause a glare which causes the image to become over exposed and unclear.

    Batteries: 3 SG3 button cell (included)

    Customers say

    Customers like the value and performance of the microscope. For example, they mention that it works great, the zoom is clear and effective across the full range, and the built-in LED works very well. That said, opinions are mixed on size, image quality, lighting, quality, and ease of use.

    AI-generated from the text of customer reviews

    471 customers mention362 positive109 negative

    Customers like the performance of the microscope. They say the zoom is clear and effective across the full range, they're able to use it without issues, and the magnification is simply great. The built-in LED works very well, and sometimes washes out the object being looked at. The optics still work, and it's very powerful. Overall, customers find it nice, compact, and easy to carry around.

    "...This product is the solution. And it works great.The image is upside-down (flip sheet top to bottom)...." Read more

    "...The optics still work, but I can't seem to get the case to fit tightly back together...." Read more

    "...Regardless, the product came and it works wonderfully...." Read more

    "...You'd be better off selling it at Toys-R-Us because it doesn't work as advertised, and is better suited as a chew toy...." Read more

    Customers like the value of the microscope. They say it's well worth the purchase and has great quality for the price.

    "...Great price too. I think this would be a fun thing to include in a field kit for kids who are learning about the outdoors too." Read more

    "...It is worth the price and, I suspect, works better than a kids' (toy) microscope at two or three times the cost." Read more

    "This is a piece of junk. It stands about 2 inches high, has an LED light to shine on your target, and has two adjustment knobs...." Read more

    "...The quality of construction is also good. It is a very good value." Read more

    424 customers mention277 positive147 negative

    Customers are mixed about the quality of the microscope. Some mention it's a great quality product, very nicely made, and sturdy. However, others say that it'd be better off buying a laboratory grade microscope.

    "...Except for the tight, hard to turn adjustment wheels, this is a very nicely made scope and the built-in light is well placed to light up your subject..." Read more

    "...For the price it's a great quality product. For those with little ones I recommend getting one. They'll love it and even you will to...." Read more

    "...With this in mind, this microscope is not really that great for looking at bugs, if there are any aspiring or weekend entomologists out there...." Read more

    "...It could drive a person crazy! This seems to be a quality product...." Read more

    325 customers mention149 positive176 negative

    Customers are mixed about the image quality of the microscope. Some mention that it gives a crystal clear picture of anything you want to look at up close, while others say that seeing is difficult, the contrast isn't great, and dust particles interfere with the magnified image.

    "...This product is the solution. And it works great.The image is upside-down (flip sheet top to bottom)...." Read more

    "...subject in mirror-image takes some getting used to, but the clarity of the view, IMHO, makes it worth the effort...." Read more

    "...Not to mention the image is reversed, so you have to remember right = left, up = down, etc... very hard to control at first, but I got better and..." Read more

    "...That little pocket scope is easy to use, portable and delivers a crisp image...." Read more

    249 customers mention94 positive155 negative

    Customers are mixed about the ease of use of the microscope. Some mention that the quality is amazing and easy to use, while others say that it can be challenging to use if you have larger clumsy hands. The controls can be a bit difficult to deal with at first, and the knob can be hard to turn.

    "...Navigation can be difficult (easy to get lost). And you have to place it directly on the fiche (over time this may damage the sheet)...." Read more

    "...That little pocket scope is easy to use, portable and delivers a crisp image...." Read more

    "...so you have to remember right = left, up = down, etc... very hard to control at first, but I got better and better at it and it's quite manageable..." Read more

    243 customers mention116 positive127 negative

    Customers are mixed about the size of the microscope. Some mention that it is small, compact, and easy to carry around. It fits in the palm of your hand and is a really good size for the magnification. However, others say that it's a little smaller than expected, and the eyepiece and objective lens are very small.

    "...At it's price, it's also a bargain. Fits in your pocket, too." Read more

    "...That's why S*** MADE IN CHINA is EXACTLY THAT, IT'S CRAP NOT EVEN FIT FOR A TODDLER...." Read more

    "This is a neat little scope. It fits right into.... well almost anything you want while traveling around...." Read more

    "...The microscope is small and I had trouble holding it, finding the things, focusing it and then I kept hitting the zoom and focus buttons..." Read more

    175 customers mention117 positive58 negative

    Customers are mixed about the lighting of the microscope. Some mention that the built-in light is bright enough to make the maximum magnification useful without it, the LED light is a big bonus, and it illuminates right next to the lens so it casts the light directly on what you're looking at. However, others say that the light is too bright for looking at some things, the light switch could be switched on and not momentary requiring you to keep your finger.

    "...wheels, this is a very nicely made scope and the built-in light is well placed to light up your subject...." Read more

    "...Also, the loupe has MUCH brighter LED lights...." Read more

    "The image quality and zoom range are excellent. The lamp is a bit dim, especially at high magnification...." Read more

    "...The light works well although it would be better if it utilized more common batteries like AAA...." Read more

    301 customers mention56 positive245 negative

    Customers find the stability of the microscope to be awkward to focus and use. They mention that it's hard to get it in focus and not damage their plant. They also say that it is very difficult to adjust the focus while looking through the scope. Customers also mention that the mechanics of the focusing mechanism were loose, making it difficult to twist the focus. They say that the focus never brought any text into focus and that the focal plain is not consistent.

    "...Except for the tight, hard to turn adjustment wheels, this is a very nicely made scope and the built-in light is well placed to light up your subject..." Read more

    "...Optically though it's a little tricky to find and keep focus on your subject you're trying to look at...." Read more

    "...So, at 60x let alone 100x, the stupid device moves because it's impossible to turn the knob WITHOUT moving the entire magnification device!!!!..." Read more

    "...Sometimes I experimented too much, losing focus of the object...." Read more

    Very easy to use
    5 Stars
    Very easy to use
    This is perfect for an inquisitive kid. There are no removable pieces (battery door excluded) so you just hold your eye to the object, place it on something, change the magnification then focus. Very simple to use. I was able to put my phone camera to it and get clear pictures, so you can see how easy and neat it is to use. I ordered one as a gift for a child, then ordered 3 more after playing with it, one for me and one for my nephews each. I wish I had this as a kid. Seriously! I’m a whole grown adult and I’m having a blast.
