## Questions & Answers

**Q: I'm looking at an object like a stamp and image is upside down / reversed. Is that right?**
A: For handheld microscopes, the optical system flips and reverses the image, while magnifying it. This allows for an affordable and compact design. The microscope isn't broken, that's just how a pocket microscope works.

**Q: What objects can the Carson Pocket Micro examine?**
A: It’s perfect for exploring everyday objects—plants, stamps, electronics—and goes beyond to reveal microfiche details, inspect mealybugs on houseplants, study trichomes, verify Magic cards, explore field geology, and scrutinize intricate microprints.

**Q: Is 20-60x magnification more practical for everyday objects compared to higher powers?**
A: Absolutely! The 20-60x power ensures a wider field of view, providing enhanced perspective and context for what you are looking at. Remember, in observation, more isn't always better, especially when examining stamps, coins, and everyday objects.

**Q: How can I use the Carson Pocket Micro effectively?**
A: For crisp visuals, begin by gently pressing the microscope against a flat subject at the lowest power. Slowly focus for a clear image, zoom to your preferred magnification, and slightly refine focus. Turn off the LED light when you're done exploring!

**Q: Is the Carson Pocket Micro a suitable gift for kids, and how versatile is it for educational purposes?**
A: Certainly! Parents love its portability and kids enjoy exploring everyday items. It's an educational gem for all ages, with intuitive controls for easy zoom and focus. Ideal for home school, field research and more! A great gift for curious minds.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great buy. Simple, effective good optics
*by G***S on October 22, 2020*

Great microscope...definitely a Best Buy specially for the price. It’s simple to use and good quality optics.. for the money it’s great quality. The built in light is bright enough to make the maximum magnification useful without it it would be dark. It is very compact and light so you can take it on trails or for work.. As with most microscopes in this price the image is inverted(upside down). Overall super happy with it the kids really like it..

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cool product!
*by A***C on February 18, 2025*

We got this for our son to use while he’s playing outside. Really neat and fun tool that fits in your pocket. Would recommend!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Bigger Lens Would Still Fit In A Pocket!
*by Z***C on August 22, 2021*

I read a lot of reviews to determine which microscope powers should suit my purposes, and the answers people provided were correct: 20x to 60x. I also read quite a few reviews stating this microscope did not work and the reviewers "couldn't see anything", but there were enough counter- arguments to convince me to go ahead and purchase the Carson PocketMicro 20x- 60x. I can add to those asserting it DOES work. What is most difficult is getting the microscope on the object and focused. When I put the microscope over the center of where I thought the object was, sometimes I did not see anything. I had to reposition the microscope sometimes several times until getting a "hit". Moving the microscope to try to capture the object to view was challenging at times (and in the OPPOSITE direction that I thought I should move) and I had to experiment with the zoom and focus. Sometimes I experimented too much, losing focus of the object. It can be frustrating not knowing which way to turn the zoom and the focus, and I think a bigger lens would help solve this problem, as well as enable more people to realize (or realize sooner) that it does work. The lens could be much larger and the microscope still pocket-sized! I did not like that the required AA battery was not included. I'd rather pay 50 cents or $1.00 more for the alkaline battery to be included - no one wants to receive the PocketMicro and not be able to try it right away because s/he doesn't happen to have the right size or type of battery readily available.I found that putting the object to be viewed on a piece of cardboard, centering the PocketMicro lens over the object, and then slowly moving the cardboard (instead of the microscope) made it quicker/easier to "find" the object where it can be viewed with the small lens. I think the compact nature of the microscope also resulted in capturing (reflecting) some of my eyelashes! So, if this happens, you need to reposition your eye. If you wear eyeglasses and are concerned that you won't be able to use this microscope, you don't need to have your glasses on - the zoom should compensate for your vision deficiency!I hesitated several times before deciding to order this microcrope, and I do not regret my decision. I've been using it on various things out of curiosity "just to see". It is worth the price and, I suspect, works better than a kids' (toy) microscope at two or three times the cost.
