KINGMAS Mini 60x Microscope Magnifying with LED Light Pocket Jewelry Magnifier Jeweler Loupe with 10X Folding Pocket Magnifier

You'll see an entire new world you never even know you were missing!I love these little pocket microscopes so much that I've purchased several of these over the years. I always have one in my purse, one in my office, and one in my bedroom. (Which I'm sure some men wouldn't appreciate. Haha I kid.) I am constantly surprised at the uses I have for these fantastic little things! I'm not sure what the blue light is for - I don't ever use that setting - but the strong, white, bright light is AWESOME! I love that you can change the focus by pulling the eyepiece in or out. And the magnification level is INCREDIBLE! You will be absolutely flabbergasted when you see the detail of things that the naked eye misses. Seriously. Take, for example, a little piece of lint. You think you can see it - but nooooo. Put it under this lighted microscope and hang on...because you'll see details of the lint you never knew were there! AMAZING!! If it can do that with lint, imagine what it can show you on things you actually want to see the tiny details of.Bottom Line: I just purchased three more of these. My kids run off with them and I've given a couple away after I've shown my friends/family members the phenomenal detail these provide. The price is truly fantastic. The light lasts a very long time. You may be able to even change the batteries, but for the price, I just throw them away when the light goes out. I never knew something like this could be so fun and entertaining - but they are! You will be looking for things to examine under the lens, I guarantee it! I highly, HIGHLY recommend these little pocket microscopes!

Surprising little product. Initially, I was disappointed. The thing is small and feels as though it were cheaply made (and it is mass produced and Chinese). It is metal, plastic, glass, with a battery and LED's. Physically (it is always "folded") the thing takes up maybe half the volume of a pack of cigarettes. When I tried to focus this (by turning, as you would with a normal microscope), I couldn't get it to work.The reason: The focus is not a "turn to focus" function, it is a "push-pull" to focus. Again, that seemed cheesy, but:This is a remarkably inexpensive little gadget, and it turns out the magnification is every bit what it says it is: 60x (approx) and "true optical", no digital tomfoolery.And the thing has features you will not expect: There is a 3-position (center off) switch for the LED's. One direction lights just one blue LED, a weak but "colored" illumination. The other direction lights three relatively powerful and very bright white LED's. Both LED settings have specific uses, the 3 bright ones are for everyday use and work great. The dim blue is an "alternate light source", a feature of higher end products. Look: No one is ever going to use one of these to become a finalist for the Nobel. But this item works perfectly, as described, and the price is unbeatable. It is my favorite gadget of the year, at least "value-wise".

The main scope light works, and with it I was able to see microscopic laser inscriptions of swarovski on all my zirconia. However, it did take quite a bit of fiddling to get it focused just right on the correct spot. My son was never able to see more than blotches, so I can understand how some people may have had problems seeing anything with the scope: even with the scope working correctly. Clearer instructions and written expectations may help in that regard. The separate 10x magnifying lens had some kind of defect in it: looked like a dark film broke off on one edge and was crumpled within the lens itself near the side. However, when I bought this, I treated that as a nice bonus item, not the main reason for me to buy, and therefore not enough reason to return. That lens is quite large, so the defect doesn't interfere much. I do like the main scope quite a bit, but downgraded it to 4 stars for being hard to use.

Upon receiving this item you see it comes in a nice little carry pouch that easily fits into your pocket to take it with you on the go, which is great if you like something small to see jewelry markings at places like yard sales or swap meets. Before you use it make sure you pull the little tab for the batteries so your light will work, you'll need it. Now there are two different lights on this, if you flip the switch one way there are 2 bright led lights that will light up whatever your trying to see quite well. However if you want to see something that you need a black-light for simply flip the switch the other way and viola a little black-light to see secured codes (or you classmates note written in invisible ink).Now for the magnifier itself, this does have a powerful magnification, but it is very difficult to get a focus on something. You pretty much need to put the end of the magnifier right on top of what you want to magnify or else it just looks all blurred and you can't make anything out. For a lot of things this might be ok, but for items like rings this is a total pain in the butt. Most of the times if I have to use this to see the stamp on a ring it takes me a couple minutes to fit the end of the magnifier to exactly where it needs to be in order to read the stamp correctly. Overall though this is a good magnifier for the price and will work in a pinch or if you don't need one that often.

I love this thing! Not only does it have a light with it. It also has a UV light too! 😜 I use it to check out my coin collection to check for any errors on the coins. It's so cool. It magnifies the coin by 60x. Better than the microscope with video I purchased for way more. I've had this and have used it almost daily and still haven't had to change the battery it in. It's very durable. I've dropped it many times and it still works.

Its too small to see through scope. Light went out. Not worth the money.
