Review: This is a very good product - The product is a very good invention. Its a great microscope in an affordable price. Its easy to assemble and to use. Mobile phone can be attached to the Foldscope and photos and videos of the specimen can be taken. Its a great infotainment for children and for adults as well.
Review: Incredible product; unjustified price - What I like : This is a revolutionary invention made by an Indian at Stanford. It serves the purpose ( which itself is wonderful). Truly a gateway to the 'Microcosmos'. If you are a parent or a teacher or just someone who wishes to teach science to the kids(or anyone for that matter) the way it is supposed to be, give them this . This can change their perception of science. And probably your's too. Difficulty faced : preparing slide is a tricky part. I managed to prepare a slide with a fruit fly's wing. It was good. I'm still trying to view one celled organisms, will update once done. I'm sceptical about the magnification. It doesn't seem to be enough to see single celled organisms. What I dislike: The sellers. There are so many sellers selling incomplete kits for less price ( Though the actual price should be 70 to 100 RS ). This seller seems promising and offer prime delivery. It's kinda sad that an Indian's invention is not available to the Indian masses for it's justified price , which actually ruins it's Noble purpose. It's science and science should be affordable ( and available) to all. Hopefully we'll see this product coming to India as it should be.

### ⭐ Waist product, waist of money.
*by A***R on 16 March 2023*

Worst product, not able to see anything with the lens, seeing totally dark. I already opened and configured so can not return back too. I totally recommend to everyone not to buy this product. Waist of money.
