works good
this actually works pretty good. i strapped it to a tripod to hold it steady and am pleased with the results. the light works well. its a very basic microscope, but to look at coins or stamps it works very well and gives good detail.

Excellent seller, questionable item.
First one I got lacked a lightbulb. The seller sent me a replacement, but it shorted out on first use. Seller then sent me a third one which WORKS. I'd say this item is made with poor quality control, but if you get one that works, it's great. The seller "Hydrogardens" deserves a star for prompt free multiple replacement!

excellent product
I have a different but nearly identical microscope made by the same manufacturer (Great Wall optical). I've had it for a few years and it still works perfectly. It's sturdy, light-weight and super easy to use. I am always amazed by how clear its image is. It also doubles as a good emergency flashlight! This item makes a great gift, that's how I got mine.

Great for Children and Parents
I had one of these microscopes as a child, and absolutely loved it. It is one of a select handful of childhood gifts that left enough of an impression that I still remember it today.
This microscope is inexpensive, compact, hardy, and easy to use. No messing around with slides and such. You just place the end of the microscope on whatever you want to look at, turn the light on, and focus. I carried this around with me a lot, to look at bugs, plants, the fibers of fabric, my own skin, and whatever else caught my eye. It lasted from when I was 8 until well into high school.
The relatively low magnification makes it unsuitable for serious scientific work, but for the scientifically curious child or adult, this microscope is a must have.
