User questions & answers

Question:	Would the smartphone clip work with a Motorola G
Answer:	Yes. It clips on to any phone.
Question:	Can you read with it
Answer:	No. This is a very powerful microscope. We recommend a much less powerful 2x-3x power magnifying glass for general reading purposes.
Question:	Is this to strong to help identify bugs? I need it for doing pest control
Answer:	We would not recommend this pocket microscope to identify bugs. You would be better suited with a less powerful loupe for bug identification. Please contact Carson's customer service department at 631-963-5000 and we will be glad to assist you further.
Question:	Do i have to use my phone
Answer:	Thank you for your inquiry. You don't have to use your phone. The adapter clip is a separate piece that easily attaches to the eyepiece if you would like to use your phone, but it is not necessary.

Flip-Down Slide Base

The MicroFlip easily converts to a microscope with a base for slides or a field microscope that can be used directly on any flat surface with a quick flip. The slide base stays flush against the back of the microscope until you're ready to use it.

Powerful 100x - 250x Magnification Range

The MicroFlip is our most powerful pocket microscope yet! We were able to pack in up to 250x magnification while still keeping a lightweight, handheld size.

LED Lighted Microscope and UV Flashlight Function

The MicroFlip uses a bright LED light to illuminate subjects and slides so that you can see every last detail. There is also a UV LED flashlight function that can be used while inspecting currency, forms of ID, certain biological specimens, and stains.

Powered by Just One AA Battery (Not Included)

The MicroFlip only requires a single AA battery for use. The battery is easily installed and replaced by removing the back panel (with the slide base flipped down).

AA battery is not included with the microscope.

Everything You Need to Get Started

The MicroFlip includes the following accessories:

• Universal smartphone adapter clip for taking photos and video
• Comfortable, lightweight wrist strap
• Starter slide with slide cover

Share Pictures and Video

The MicroFlip comes with a universal digiscoping adapter clip. This quickly and easily attaches your smartphone to the microscopes eye piece, and allows you to take photos using your default photo app, and any other app that has photo capabilities, like snapchat or instagram. With the smartphone adapter clip, it's easy to share pictures and videos on social media, add detailed images to science projects and reports, and to save and compare photos of different specimens over time.

The smartphone digiscoping clip will work with most current smartphones including models by iPhone, Samsung, HTC, LG and more. Thicker cases, like Otterbox style cases, may need to be removed before attaching the digiscoping clip.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the adapter here www.amazon.com/Carson®-MicroMax-Microscope-Adapter-MM-255/dp/B00BHW8J62/ for this model to use on my Samsung Duos GT
Answer:	Hi Amber,Please note that the MicroBrite Plus Pocket Microscope (MM-300) is not compatible with any smartphones. The added image is just to show some different related Carson products like other pocket microscopes as well as products that can be used for digiscoping purposes. We apologize for any confusion.
Question:	What exactly makes this item compatable with an iPhone or Galaxy
Answer:	Yes. There is a button that activates the LED light that will stay on continuously until you press it again to turn it off.
Question:	Does this have a light that stays on (one where you don't have to keep the button pressed down to keep the light on
Answer:	The four main species of dust mites range in size from .008 inch long to .012 inch long. Therefore, at this microscope's lowest power (60X), the smallest of these dust mites would appear as if it was nearly 1" long to the naked eye; and at 120X, the largest species would appear as if it was about 1.4" long to the naked eye. As you can see, the MM-300 is not just adequate for this purpose, it's perfect.
Question:	Can it be used to see dust mites and other insects not viewable with your eye
Answer:	This Anatomy Lab skull is intended for beginners and basic study, so instead, we would recommend the Axis Scientific 3-Part Skull that includes all these details: https://www.amazon.com/Axis-Scientific-Interior-Structures-Detailed/dp/B00KZO8R56

For Best Results:

1. Place the base of the microscope flush against a flat viewing surface
2. Ensure the LED lighting is switched on
3. Start focusing on the lowest magnification setting (60x)
4. Once you have a clear view of your subject, increase the magnification to your desired level (you may need to slightly adjust the focus again slightly)

A note on using the MicroBrite Plus in the field: Due to high magnification, the focal distance of the MicroBrite Plus is very short (maximum of 2mm past the acrylic base). It is not possible to focus on subjects beyond this focal distance. Looking at larger, three dimensional objects or objects that are not on a flat surface takes practice and a steady hand, especially since small movements are exaggerated with higher magnification. This is why we recommend viewing flatter objects on a flat surface, especially when first using this microscope.

Product description

LED Lighted Field Microscope with 20x-60x Power Zoom Magnification

The Pocket Micro from Carson is an LED lighted pocket microscope that contains a 20x-60x power zoom magnification range. For ideal use, hold the microscope flat against the surface and make sure the LED light is activated. Begin at the lowest 20x magnification and proceed to get your subject in focus using the focusing dial. Then, proceed to increase the magnification to your desired range by turning the zoom dial.

Aspheric Lens System For Precise Image Quality

This field microscope contains an internal aspheric lens system. An aspheric lens system allows the light rays passing through the lens to converge at a single focal point which provides for a sharp, clear and distortion-free image.

Perfect Microscope for a Wide Range of Hobbies, Tasks and Crafts

This pocket microscope is perfect for examining plant buds, coins, stamps, bugs, nature, electronics, fabric, printing and so much more. It is a great beginner microscope for children, students,hobbyists and even professionals. The Pocket Micro contains an extremely ergonomic, compact and lightweight design.

User questions & answers

Question:	is there an off-on switch for the LED light, or do you have to push and hold to keep it lit
Answer:	If you just press and release the button for the light it should stay on. That is the on/off switch.
Question:	If the image is reversed, how can this be useful for coin examination
Answer:	Thank you for your inquiry. Microscopes are good for determining authenticity, looking for small scratches, pockets of certain metals, and other defects and irregularities that are not visible to the naked eye. For simply reading the text on smaller coins, we would recommend a standing loupe like those in our LumiLoupe series or our new VersaLoupe magnifiers.
Question:	How does the mm-450 optics quality compare to the carson mm-200 micromax, e.g. aberration and distortion
Answer:	While the MM-450 does have a lower magnification than the MM-200, it has an aspheric lens system, giving it a sharp, clear and distortion-free image.
Question:	How does this compare to the mm300? plain simple english please, i am not a scientist. i am using to inspect knife edges. thank you
Answer:	I have Purchased 3 Carson microscopes 20-40x - light button must be held down to turn on - purchased for my grandson 40-60x - light has on off switch 60-120x - light has on off switch first I purchase the 60-120x to exam varroa mites in my bee hives. The magnification is so strong on 60x, the mites filled the viewer Both smaller units work great for looking a mites. 60-120x seems to work great to see scratches in the metal blade of a knife

User questions & answers

Question:	Is it waterproof
Answer:	I highly doubt it. It is a VERY cheaply-made device. It does not work. It is also VERY small, the lens is plastic and blurry. When I turned my light on, I was unable to turn it off. It eventually used up the battery and burned out. Useless item. I wasted my money on it. Bought my 5 year old a GOOD hand held magnifying glass for $2 at the Dollar Store, a year later he's still getting good use out of it. NOT RECOMMENDED!
Question:	Can small hand held items be viewed without distortion or does it require material to be on a flat surface like the MM
Answer:	This is only 20 power so it works fine hand held. As with anything like this, the more power, the less depth of field. At 20 power it's easy to hold things still enough to look at.
Question:	Is this too powerful (or too difficult in terms of say lens size) to use for splinter or bee sting removal
Answer:	We would recommend the Carson Lighted MagniGrip 4.5x LED Lighted Magnifier with Precision Tweezers (MG-88) for splinter or bee sting removal. This product is also available on Amazon via this link: https://www.amazon.com/Carson-MagniGrip-Magnifier-Precision-MG-88/dp/B0011WYMI2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1541001884&sr=8-1&keywords=carson+mg-88
Question:	Does the battery compartment screw shut on this model
Answer:	Yes. You will need a small phillips head screwdriver to remove the battery compartment cover.

User questions & answers

Question:	What us the best way to clean the lens
Answer:	The solution is mostly used in ultrasonic cleaners to give the best result. A standard statement is that an ultrasonic cleaner is not recommended for soft stones. Pearl is a soft stone. Our experience is that if you just do a quick and gentle cleaning and the stones have no fractures or defects then most of the times it's fine. You should excise your own discretion. Test a piece which you are wiling to try fist, and watch it carefully.
Question:	Your video says you can use this microscope on 3d objects, but i can only get it to focus when it is flush with a flat object. how do i use it with 3d
Answer:	No once it ships out they will take the payment
Question:	Can the clip be purchased separately? I already have the microscope
Answer:	It does not. It’s a huge and heavy carton box, the original box is inside it
Question:	Can the smartphone digiscoping clip provided with the carson micromini be used with other carson products, such as the microflip or microbrite plus
Answer:	My daughter uses her air track exclusively outside. We have not left it out days on end in the rain but it has gotten wet. It holds up very well. She has been using it since late December and we are very pleased with the quality.
