Microscope
This product can be used in two ways, both of which project their image ONLY on the screen of a computer, smart phone, or electronic pad. It can be used more or less in a typical microscope configuration, or the viewing tube can be removed from the base and used in a free-hand way.

It is a very attractively designed product and seems to be well made. Any child who can work a smartphone or a computer game will quickly catch on to how to make use of this device. Not only can the child display a specimen on a video screen, but photos and videos of the specimen can be captured in living color! Moreover, who knows what art dwells on the wing of a fly?

While it is called an “intelligent microscope”, I think it might better be called a MACROscope, since its claimed magnification is only 400x – substantially less than is necessary to see the small organisms and objects that are typically viewed by microscopes. It has two magnetic arms that very nicely hold slides or specimens in place.

It is a great way to introduce an elementary school child to the scientific methods of observation and collection of small specimens. The product comes with five slides that include a small ant and items of vegetation, and another five blank slides for the user to mount specimens.

The product can also be used for such purposes as to read small print on antiques or examine the quality of a weave, or search a coin for imperfection’s, etc.

I am sure that most children and many adults would be happy to have this device.

The manual could be better organized. You can download a copy from the internet.

There are some videos. about this and similar devices, on youtube that can be found on a search for “intelligent microscope”.
