Carson Optical MicroFlip

If you are looking for an extremely powerful LED illuminated handheld microscope, the Carson MP-250 MicroFlip is the right choice. The magnification ranges from 100x to 250x. The MP-250 MicroFlip features a flip-up objective base with an aspherical lens system for highly accurate image quality. It also includes a built-in UV torch that is perfect for detecting counterfeit money or spotting other details.

The MicroFlip comes with a smartphone digiscoping clip, allowing you to take photos and videos of your subject using the built-in camera application on your smartphone. You can then share your images and videos on social media or email them to family, colleagues, and friends.

The smartphone digiscoping clip works with all smartphones. Thicker cases, such as those from Otterbox, may need to be removed before attaching the digiscoping clip.

The MicroFlip runs on 1 AA battery (not included).

With the help of this compact handheld microscope, every detail becomes visible. You can turn the LED illumination on and off using the button on the top, which requires one AA battery (not included, optionally available). The LED lighting ensures that the object is optimally illuminated. By turning the upper ring, you can adjust the magnification, and then use the lower ring to focus the image, allowing you to study the object even better.

Thanks to the quality of the lens, this compact handheld microscope can even be used without an LED. It is widely used by collectors of banknotes and stamps, as well as by growers to study their seedlings.
