Carson MicroMini 20x LED+UV pocket microscope - blue
Some devices surprise you with how much they can offer in such a small package. The Carson MicroMini is exactly that kind of product. This tiny yet fully functional pocket microscope with 20x magnification fits in any pocket, backpack or key case - and still delivers quality optics complemented by dual lighting: standard LED and ultraviolet UV. The blue color variant is also easy to spot no matter where you toss it.
Dual lighting in a compact body
20x magnification is a very practical choice for a pocket microscope of this class - powerful enough to reveal details invisible to the naked eye, while still providing a clear overview of the observed sample. The built-in LED lighting ensures adequate illumination of the sample even in less favorable light conditions.
The UV lighting opens up an entirely different world of observation:
- Detection of fluorescent minerals
- Banknote authenticity verification
- Tracking fluorescent traces
- Examination of biological samples with enhanced contrast
The combination of both light sources in such a compact body is a truly practical solution for fieldwork.
Always ready when you need it
The MicroMini was designed to always be at hand. With dimensions of just 2.3 x 3.8 x 4.3 cm and a weight of 32 grams, it is one of the smallest fully functional microscopes on the market. Included is a keyring attachment, allowing you to easily clip it to a backpack, hiking belt or case - so you never have to search for it in your pocket, it simply hangs there and waits.
