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 unit provides really great images which you can save on the included Micro-SD card then transfer to your computer for viewing on your large monitor (if you dare lol). A nice feature is that you can remove the clear ring around the bottom of the scope (simply twist and pull it off) so you can obtain the correct focus on non flat/curved items like when looking at a splinter on your hand or foot. One thing this unit is not good for is examining PC boards from the top (component) side of the board because the components stick up from the board making it impossible to get the scope close enough to the board surface to get in focus. It is good however for inspection of the back side (the flat soldered side) of PC boards where there are no components that interfere with the scope getting close enough to get good focus. It's also very handy for examining splinters or cuts you may get from time to time because it provides it's own light source so you can really see which way the splinter went in so you can determine how to remove it with the least amount of damage to the surrounding skin. it's also great for inspecting cuts to make sure you removed any dirt from the wound. The photo you see in my review is of a common "banana fruit gnat" that show up a couple of days after bringing home bananas without rinsing them properly. These gnats are super tiny, but I managed to trap a tired one under the scope and took this photo under low power base magnification. Really an outstanding value which has become my everyday go-to magnifying device because it just works. BTW- it plugs in to USB-C to recharge and includes an 8GB micro-SD card for photo storage/transfer to laptop/PC.

I cannot stress enough, PURCHASE THIS! I purchased 3 of them, one for each of my boys. We have had so much fun using them. It’s the coolest thing to look at fabric, plants, bugs and well EVERYTHING up so close! They are easy to turn on as well as move through all the functions. You can easily take pictures and upload them onto your computer, so connectivity is on point. This microscope has been extremely durable, it’s been through the true test of my three boys! The lights are really bright and work well to see things up close or use as a flash light. Worth every penny spent and then some. Endless fun and learning!

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.

Purchased this for a birthday present. Was pleased that quality is pretty good, better than what is needed for hobby use.

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.

False advertising alert! It does not come with an SD card, or the slides and the camera only goes up to 5MP in the settings, not 16MP like advertised on one of the pictures in the listing. It works ok.

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.

all good
