With this practical handheld microscope I have had very good experiences: From Flower parts, small mushrooms, fruiting bodies of lichen, insect eyes sting apparatus of bees, wasps, among others excellent enlargements completely un- complicated placed on the computer screen. The digital microscope is also mE in biology classes very good to use (in my experience from 5th grade or 11th / 12th age) .The magnification option is between 20-200 times, the best picture quality is in the lower range.
