Overview
The Carson MicroFlip 100x-250x pocket microscope combines true portability with solid optical power, letting you explore tiny worlds in the palm of your hand. A compact body hosts bright LED illumination and a built in UV flashlight, so you can reveal subtle contrasts on a variety of surfaces.

This blend of tactile viewing and digital capture makes micro exploration accessible anywhere.

Its compact size makes it easy to carry to a park, dorm, classroom, or workshop, turning moments into micro discoveries that can be revisited later.
CarsonCam and digital digiscoping
