Just the Ticket

Purchased this Pocket Scope from AG for my nephew, and he adores it. Its compact, lightweight and easy for him to hold. The resolution is great for the price-point, and its robust enought for a 5 y.o. boy. Highly recomend.

Pocket scope

The scope was very disappointing. Difficult to use and definitely not suitable for small children who would find it very frustrating

Grandchild gift

Thanks to Australian Geographic for saving so many problems with birthday/Christmas gifts for family members. You have taken the hardship away and provided interesting and educational ideas for this stressed Grandparent.

Pocket Microscope

Small, compact, sturdy and fairly easy to use. Can be tricky at times for the kids (6 years old) to adjust the zoom and focus but we manage :)

Pocket scope

Only good thing on this is the torch. Bought this for my 6yr old grandson as he is interested in looking at germs and things up close but he has no interest in this as you don't see anything up close

Difficult to master for younger users

4yo and 6yo loved the idea but had a few struggles working them out and lost interest quickly. The magnification is quite impressive though

Pocket Scope - Portable Microscope

So cool!

I played around with it before packing it in a Secret Spy Case for my 6 year old. I think I'll be borrowing it for just looking at the world around me from a new perspective.

Thank you.

Haven’t used as they are Christmas presents. Delivery fast.

Blurry colours only

I was really disappointed by this microscope. I don't know if we got a faulty one but even after fiddling with the focus dials we couldn't get anything to come into focus. Everything just looked like blurry colours. We would be a lot better with a magnifying glass.

Pocket Scope is a great little toy!

This little pocket scope really does work giving lots of detail to everything you put it against. A brilliant little toy to encourage interest in the natural environment.

Great toy

My child loves this pocket style microscope to look at leaves and rocks and bugs in the garden. Would definitely recommend this for other child explorers

What does it mean by 120-60x? Is the magnification range from 120-6o times magnification? That seems a lot. Most children's scopes go to 10x.

Australian Geographic

Hi Silvana, yes, that is correct. That is the magnification range. Most tableteop microscopes have higher magnification than this, but the pocketscope is lower as it is handheld. 10x magnification is what you may find in binoculars, but probably not powerful enough to give a proper microscopic view of subjects.
