### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by R***E on 26 October 2021*

Excellent microscope however it is a little awkward to steady when mobile phone is attached. The device is probably too powerful for what I needed it for as magnification is really strong. I needed a microscope for insect identification and a scale of x10-x100 would have been more suitable for my needs. Its small, portable, fits in your pocket and maybe with more practice I may get the results I need. Great quality device compared to cost of purchase.
