Top critical review
3.0 out of 5 starsGood functionality, but...

This microscope is very portable. You truly could take it everywhere. More than sufficient for viewing plant structures like trichomes, pistils, pores, etc... My criticism of it is as follows; the product is listed as "metal construction" which is why I purchased it in the first place as I will invariably drop it at some point. Don't do that. The ONLY metal used in the construction of this product is the wiring and battery contacts for the led light. I REALLY have issues when any product on Amazon is represented falsely, and it seems to be more the norm than an exception, lately. While I am of the opinion that mistakes will be made and can be forgiven, if you are selling products on a platform like Amazon you need to be accurate with your descriptions. Would have given the microscope a higher rating, but I despise being mislead by a seller. If you are misrepresenting the construction of a product you are selling, what else should I expect you to be hiding?
TLDR Conclusion; product is good. Does what it is supposed to do at a fair price, but don't buy it with the expectation of durable metal construction as stated in the listing above. Seller needs to revise their description of it. There are less expesive ones on Amazon which will do the exact same function for literally half the cost.
