TOMLOV P10 Microscope for Adults Kids, Handheld Coin Magnifier with Light for Error Coins, Portable Trichome Magnifying Glass 100X, Collector Pocket Jewelers Loupe, Digital Microscope with 2" Screen

This was my son's (age 9) favorite Christmas gift this year. We were so pleasantly surprised at the quality! It has been super fun for him to go around and easily view everything under the microscope - and even be able to capture pictures and videos. It's durable, doesn't feel cheap, and the battery life seems to be pretty good - we've only charged it up maybe twice in the last two months. Great gift for elementary aged kids!

You hold this like a magnifying glass, and it works as expected. The picture quality is surprisingly good. Great for young explorers, and priced similarly to all the other (presumably) similar ones here on Amazon.

This thing is pretty cool. It gets right in there and you can see everything. Helps out a lot when looking at trichomes. Takes pics so you can view them as well. Dim to very bright lights and good magnification. Worth the money in my opinion.

Feels really well made. Bigger than expected. I use it to verify mtg cards are real. It can magnify the lettering on the mini Holostamp. Shows red dots and dpi pattern easily. Comes with a memory card. Only thing I wish it had was a little case to protect it.

Works really well for closeup. Was a little surprised at how you have to be right on top of something otherwise it is blurry. There is a clear ring on the bottom and that needs to be placed on top of whatever you are magnifying. The detail is awesome otherwise. I wish there was a digital magnifying glass like this that had an adjustable lens so that the field of view is not locked. It should be described better in this regard. The brightness is great. I am going to use it for examining digital press prints which reveals color issues for that it will be excellent.

Nice microscope but battery lasts 10 mins so pretty useless

I'm actually quite impressed with what all it can do considering that it's only twenty-four bucks (at the time of this review)! I also realize that you can now get microscopes that are similar to this one that have 1,000X magnification, and even 1,600X magnification. And I probably will eventually. But what I was looking for was something with 100X magnification that I didn't have to strain to see. Well, this certainly did the trick. And I really like that it's rechargeable via a USB-C cable. Of course, it comes with a USB-C to USB-A cable, but it CAN be charged with a USB-C to USB-C cable too. It also comes with a lanyard, an 8GB micro SD card, some slides, and a user manual. The manual is even nice as well. It's quite detailed and pretty easy to understand. When you hook it up to a computer, three options come up on the microscope's screen. Storage, which will let you download pictures to the computer from the microscope. Charging Mode, which obviously just charges the microscope. And then there's PC Camera, which is for showing whatever the microscope is looking at, on the computer screen. If you are using it on a Windows computer, you open the Windows Camera program (or app) to get it to come up. And if it doesn't come right up, then there should be something that you can click on at the top right side of the screen that is for changing the camera. Also, for anyone who is wondering, you CAN record video when the microscope is hooked up to a PC. Just keep in mind though, that whatever photos and/or videos you take while it's hooked up to the computer, can only save to the computer and not to the microscope. As far as Mac/iMac goes, from what I can tell from the instructions, you have to use "Photo Booth." Which apparently shows a mirror image of what the microscope is looking at. However, the recorded images should not be mirrored. So it looks to me like, you can use the microscope with Mac/iMac, but it would probably be better to use it with a PC if possible. Anyway, I guess that's about it. Well, one more thing. The microscope is not waterproof, and in the instructions they warn to try not to drop it. So in other words, it probably can't take that much abuse. But that's not a big deal, right? I mean, it costs how much again? Lol. But okay, NOW I'm finished. And I'm going to go ahead and give the TOMLOV P10 Microscope a score of 5... out of, 5.

Very useful for finding damage on sports cards. Lighting and magnification is adequate.
