I have bought this magnifier to view plants, insects and everyday things more clearly. And I'm extremely excited. This magnifier is made entirely of plastic. The Large 2.5 times magnifying loupe also made entirely with the integrated 4 times magnifying glass plastic. Thus, this magnifier is despite the two AAA batteries in the handle, very light and mobile. The plastic is very smooth to the border areas clearly magnifying. Very sharp flawless image. So the microscope is quite nice, but the real hit is the top illumination by the two LED lamps. I am totally impressed by the richness of detail, the one offering in the microworld. The good illumination is at a magnification that is always the most difficult. These Lupe manages. By 8.8 cm diagonal, a binocular vision is given. If I had as a child had such a great toy, then I would have been more out in the countryside. First-class product!
