TOMLOV P10 Microscope for Adults Kids, Handheld Coin Magnifier with Light

I'm actually quite impressed with what all it can do considering that it's only twenty-four bucks (at the time of this review)! I also realize that you can now get microscopes that are similar to this one that have 1,000X magnification, and even 1,600X magnification. And I probably will eventually. But what I was looking for was something with 100X magnification that I didn't have to strain to see.Well, this certainly did the trick. And I really like that it's rechargeable via a USB-C cable. Of course, it comes with a USB-C to USB-A cable, but it CAN be charged with a USB-C to USB-C cable too. It also comes with a lanyard, an 8GB micro SD card, some slides, and a user manual. The manual is even nice as well. It's quite detailed and pretty easy to understand.When you hook it up to a computer, three options come up on the microscope's screen. Storage, which will let you download pictures to the computer from the microscope. Charging Mode, which obviously just charges the microscope. And then there's PC Camera, which is for showing whatever the microscope is looking at, on the computer screen. If you are using it on a Windows computer, you open the Windows Camera program (or app) to get it to come up. And if it doesn't come right up, then there should be something that you can click on at the top right side of the screen that is for changing the camera. Also, for anyone who is wondering, you CAN record video when the microscope is hooked up to a PC. Just keep in mind though, that whatever photos and/or videos you take while it's hooked up to the computer, can only save to the computer and not to the microscope.As far as Mac/iMac goes, from what I can tell from the instructions, you have to use "Photo Booth." Which apparently shows a mirror image of what the microscope is looking at. However, the recorded images should not be mirrored. So it looks to me like, you can use the microscope with Mac/iMac, but it would probably be better to use it with a PC if possible.Anyway, I guess that's about it. Well, one more thing. The microscope is not waterproof, and in the instructions they warn to try not to drop it. So in other words, it probably can't take that much abuse. But that's not a big deal, right? I mean, it costs how much again? Lol. But okay, NOW I'm finished. And I'm going to go ahead and give the TOMLOV P10 Microscope a score of 5... out of, 5.

This unit provides really great images which you can save on the included Micro-SD card then transfer to your computer for viewing on your large monitor (if you dare lol).A nice feature is that you can remove the clear ring around the bottom of the scope (simply twist and pull it off) so you can obtain the correct focus on non flat/curved items like when looking at a splinter on your hand or foot.One thing this unit is not good for is examining PC boards from the top (component) side of the board because the components stick up from the board making it impossible to get the scope close enough to the board surface to get in focus. It is good however for inspection of the back side (the flat soldered side) of PC boards where there are no components that interfere with the scope getting close enough to get good focus.It's also very handy for examining splinters or cuts you may get from time to time because it provides it's own light source so you can really see which way the splinter went in so you can determine how to remove it with the least amount of damage to the surrounding skin. it's also great for inspecting cuts to make sure you removed any dirt from the wound.The photo you see in my review is of a common "banana fruit gnat" that show up a couple of days after bringing home bananas without rinsing them properly. These gnats are super tiny, but I managed to trap a tired one under the scope and took this photo under low power base magnification.Really an outstanding value which has become my everyday go-to magnifying device because it just works.BTW- it plugs in to USB-C to recharge and includes an 8GB micro-SD card for photo storage/transfer to laptop/PC.

This is a convenient tool to have around. I wouldn't call it a microscope. You won't see any bacteria or microscopic critters with it. It is good for reading tiny text with your 50+ year old eyes, checking coins or gems, etc. It could be defined as a toy or as a magnifier for adulting. If you are a jeweler or collector, then you might want to spend a little more. If you are a scientist needing to study microscopic materials, then look elsewhere. If you want to be able to read the tiny serial number printed in gray on the back of your gray Lenovo Yoga computer which chatting with tech support on said computer, this will help! I have some electronics projects and a battery pack welder I plan to rebuild some power tool batteries with and anticipate this will be helpful in checking small solder joints and tack welds. I used to be able to see that with my own eyes in my 20s, but that ship has sailed, so I'm happy that I can buy a gadget on the cheap to make things a little easier. Just don't expect too much of it and it won't let you down (forget what song I got that from).It's bright, easy to use, portable and light, and seems like it will be durable enough for daily use. If I break it beyond repair, then I'll just buy another.

Works great, worth the moneyMagnification is very clear.

I cannot stress enough, PURCHASE THIS! I purchased 3 of them, one for each of my boys. We have had so much fun using them. It’s the coolest thing to look at fabric, plants, bugs and well EVERYTHING up so close! They are easy to turn on as well as move through all the functions. You can easily take pictures and upload them onto your computer, so connectivity is on point. This microscope has been extremely durable, it’s been through the true test of my three boys! The lights are really bright and work well to see things up close or use as a flash light. Worth every penny spent and then some. Endless fun and learning!

This handheld microscope works ok. The light is handy and the magnification is good. The handle is a bit small for holding steady to take a clear picture. But the case is useless. The smell that comes from it is a mix of cheap fabric softener and hash chemicals. I tried airing it out, outside because the smell was so strong. After two days the smell is still strong. The advantage of having a case is negated, which is one reason I chose this microscope.

Works great

An inexpensive magnifier with a built-in light and camera, the TOMLOV P10 is a small, portable tool for anyone. It takes about 1 hour to get a 50-minute charge via USB-C (cable included) on the battery. There's a case and directions included with the handheld microscope, and you can adjust both brightness and magnification. You can capture up to 300 images with the push of a button, and you can insert a microSD card (not included) up to 32GB size to capture photos onto the card. You can transfer photos to your PC or MAC.NOTE: For Mac, you don't need PhotoBooth app, you just need to connect the microscope and look for it as a storage device in Finder. It's even easier to find this way if a microSD is installed.What I like about this product:1. It's inexpensive and it works.2. It allows for coin collectors to visualize errors with ease, and take photos of those errors.3. If you can put the head of the microscope over whatever you want to visualize and have it flat against a table or other surface, you will get good visualization and photo capture.4. Adjusting the light allows for visualizing and capturing images.5. USB-C charging is quick and easy.6. The LCD screen is easy to read.7. It's lightweight and comes with a carrying case.8. You can adjust the magnification.9. Good user manual with the option to download the PDF on the website.10. The clear, round bottom to the microscope provides a guide for the optimum distance to what you are looking at, if that is a flat object. (If it's not flat, you will need to move it around to see things.)11. Good for looking at small print, coins, fabric, plants, and much more.Things I wish were better about this product:1. It's construction feels a bit cheap and you'll have to take care using it. One drop on a hard surface might harm it.2. The head of the microscope doesn't allow for full visualization of the object you're looking at, as a traditional, handheld magnifying glass would.3. The 50-minute runtime varies. If you use the highest brightness setting and change the magnification, you will get less use time.4. The images captured are 2MP which is low-resolution, so the images appear blurry when sized much past 100px.Overall, I like it. I collect coins and this provides me with a nice tool to take with me to coin shows and shops to quickly take a look at a coin, and nab an image if desired. While it's not perfect, it offers a closer look. Once you learn how best to use it for whatever you're looking at, I think you'll like it.

all good

Me gustó por los detalles que se ven de la moneda pero esperaba que se viera toda en círculo y se ve una parte , tiene buen lente y luz , compacta y funcional

Excellent modèle pour l'affûtage et être en mesure de bien évaluer l'avancement du morphile.

Excelente, la pantalla se ve muy nítida y tiene buena iluminación.

Lo pedí para mis hijos de 5 años y es demasiado complicado manipularlo para ellos.
