I was also skeptical at first because of the low price, but as some recessions have been positive and there is really nothing to lose at this price, I let it just once chance and ordered the pocket microscope. I've been using it for the sex determination of tarantulas and I have to say, but it is suuuper. Even with the little animals you can use the microscope super. It can not compete with a real binocular course. But for the small homestyle it was good enough. The best discovery: with my iPhone I can even take pictures through the lens !!!! The uploaded my photo you can see the super sexual organs of a female tarantula. When I'm excited about the value for money !!
