Carson MicroFlip 100x-250x LED/UV pocket microscope + set of 24 prepared slides
Want a microscope you can always have with you - whether you are in the forest, in a meadow, at school, or at home? Carson MicroFlip is exactly what you are looking for. This compact pocket microscope with LED and UV lighting fits in a pocket, school bag, or handbag, yet delivers performance appreciated by curious beginners and technically skilled science enthusiasts alike.
Smooth zoom and precise focus - even in the field
MicroFlip offers continuously adjustable magnification ranging from 100x to 250x, with controls intuitively split between two independent rings. The ring labeled "zoom" changes the focal length and thus the resulting magnification. The "focus" ring then sharpens the image independently of the selected magnification - making work with the microscope fast and accurate even outdoors. The device is equipped with built-in LED lighting for standard observation in transmitted or reflected light, plus UV lighting that reveals details invisible to the naked eye or under ordinary light. The microscope can be used fully without a smartphone - simply hold it to your eye and observe directly.
Smartphone clip for photos and video
The package includes a detachable clip for attaching the microscope to your smartphone's camera lens. With this accessory, you can take photos or videos directly through the MicroFlip optics and share your discoveries with friends, save documentation, or use your phone's display as a convenient viewfinder during group observations. The clip is universal and fits most standard smartphones.
24 professionally prepared slides included
One of the greatest advantages of this bundle is the included set of 24 prepared slides - 12 unique insect specimens and 12 unique animal specimens. The slides are professionally prepared and sealed, so there is nothing else to prepare. Simply insert a slide, switch on the lighting, and observe. For school lessons, nature clubs, and home explorers, this set is an excellent starting point that shows just how amazing a world is hidden in the details.
