Review title: Of no use- not even as a toy
Product review: As it does magnify an image, the image is distorted (very poor lens) , It must be held perfectly still and the depth of focus is limited.It is of too great a magnification for viewing - as a 'dissecting' style of microscope - as it is manufactured. Either material should be mounted of a glass slide and illuminated from below as with a laboratory compound scope or it should have been made with a lesser magnification ( 5X to 20X) for use as a dissecting scope.It took but a few minutes to discern that this "microscope" is quite useless. A simple 10X loop provides more viewing and clarity.As a former biologist, I should have known - it just not possible to magnify to that extent and expect a low cost lens to provide satisfactory images.
