Could use more lights, but otherwise a pretty nice pocket scope.
I have an old Fischer-Price magnifier from when I was a kid that somehow keeps ending up in my lab and being surprisingly useful. But, since the optics are plastic, it's always been a bit hazy despite being upgraded with an LED ring light, etc.
So when this popped up on my feed, I figured I'd try it out. It's surprisingly nice for what it is. Where my old pocket scope only has a focus; this one has both a zoom and focus. My other scope has a far wider field of view, so being able to get in and close with this is nice.
It includes some test slides, which seem to be represented fairly well in the marketing pictures (see the "Ant Amplification" for example as well as the other reviewers' pictures). I was using it to look at circuit boards and other than the housing getting in the way at times, it worked nicely. I'll probably drag it out on walks with me to look at things since it's a lot more clear than my old pocket scope.
I do wish it had more than just one light on it. But I bet I can find a tiny ring light and modify it. :D
