this mini microscope is a really cool item and is useful for a lot of different applications where seeing the make up of of an item or substance is important the led provide adequate lighting and the unit is compact enough that is can be put into a bag or backpack with not real increase in weight the view is clear as long as the lenses are kept clean at both ends but may be an issue for those of us who wear glasses as i do but i make it work the controls are however a little loose and sloppy and i can see that over time and significant use they would simply become worse the focus knob isnt nearly as sturdy as it should be and letting go of it with your fingers can set it off from where you had initially set it up so a more precise focus is needed with closer tolerances to that the knob isnt loose or sloppy is needed also the magnification is somewhat similar to the focus knob it does its job but will get looser over time and needs closer tolerances in its manufacturing to make it reliable and stays where it is told without the act of letting go of it causing it to move slightly other than that it is a great tool and i do recommend it for field use just making you aware that it is what it is and that it will never be a replacement for a true microscope but if you are looking to have a field microscope in your pocket this is a great way to get it i do recommend a carrying case for it so that dirt and dust do not get inside of it making the adjusting knobs wear out prematurely and to prevent being packed with other objects from causing additional sloppiness in the focus and magnification adjusters i do wish i had bought the microscope with the slide viewing slot in it as this would have expanded its capabilities for me but might not be necessary for everyone
