Does this pocket microscope work on 3D (not flat) objects?

YES, but practice focusing and examining flat objects first. A 3D object will work if placed near (but not inside) the bottom of microscope (clear part), but if you pre-focus the microscope on a flat object first, it will be much easier.

I'm looking at an object like a stamp and image is upside down / reversed. Is that right?

YES, most microscopes do this. For handheld microscopes, the optical system flips and reverses the image, while magnifying it. This allows for an affordable and compact design. The microscope isn't broken, that's just how a pocket microscope works

What kind of things can I review with this microscope?

The MicroBrite can examine a diverse range of subjects, such as fabric, grass, sand, hair, skin, bugs, stamps or even a pineapple or worm! You can even observe larger microorganisms like bacteria, blood, germs, paramecium and euglena!

Can I use a smartphone with this microscope to take images and video?

The MM-300 version does not have a smartphone adapter, but you can buy the MM-310 adapter separate to work with it OR you can buy the MM-350 that comes with both the microscope and the smartphone adapter.

How do I get the best image when focusing with this portable microscope?

Always practice focusing on a flat object at the lowest power setting. Slowly turn the knob until you get close to seeing a focused image. Then turn the knob extremely slowly to get the perfect focus. Then up the power setting and slightly refocus.

Not easy to operate

The product is shown as very easy to operate, but it won't work that easily. In addition, the troubleshooting provides options for pairing and connecting with Android and iOS apps. However, there is no option to turn on Bluetooth or any other smart options on the device. This is completely misleading. The product is not returnable. Only replacement can be made. Not worth the price.

Great device... but with a drawback

This has been always on my wish list and I grabbed it when the price was lower during great sale. You will be certainly amazed with the magnifying abilities of this device. However there is one big drawback which could have been easily avoided. The company should have provided a slide to place tiny objects and watch them below the microscope. It's really hard and confusing to observe such objects after placing them beneath the microscope as you get confused of your positioning... and have to keep moving the microscope.
