A Moment With The Lord – 365-Day Bible Study & Prayer Journal

Lea loves her new microscope—I'm definitely going to keep that idea in mind for my nephews for Christmas!

I have two children: Tom (9) and Jade (6). They spend all their time arguing. I gave them the YESNAP microscope for Christmas. I was skeptical and expected Tom to hog it all. But quite the opposite. They use it together. Tom explains to her how it works, and Jade shows him what she finds in the garden. Last night, I caught them comparing their drawings in the notebook. No yelling. No arguing. A real gem.

I may not be a kid anymore, but I still think this magnifying glass is great for model building and model railroading. I have no idea exactly how much magnification it provides, but it’s significantly more than my conventional magnifying glass. The focusing works very well, and the images come out great, too. The zoom seems to be “just” a pixel zoom—I hardly ever use it. I couldn’t get the data transfer to work with the included cable, but it worksvery well with the memory card

My son Noah (7 years old) has become OBSESSED with this microscope 😄 We’ve started a little ritual: every Saturday morning, we go to the park near our house with the microscope and his adventure notebook 🌳 He collects things (leaves, bark, little bugs, pebbles, flowers…) and we examine everything right there or when we get home. He jots down his discoveries in his notebook, makes little drawings, and writes down what he’s learned. Sometimes it’s just two lines and a drawing of an ant, it’s HIS thing. Honestly, it’s become our favorite time of the week 🤍 At first, I thought it would last a week. It’s been two months now, and he’s already talking about it all week long. A big thank you to Kideo—we’ve rediscovered screen-free Saturdays.

We got it for our son’s 4th birthday so he’d take a break from the tablet (since we used to give it to him whenever he got bored). With this microscope, he’s always coming to us with questions about what he’s found; he asks about the anatomy of insects and animals, and I have to admit that even I’ve had to look up some facts, haha. In any case, it’s a wonderful gift—it even made his friends at school jealous.

A very good product, both fun and useful. Perfect for children, but also practical for adults when you want to observe small details, such as the micro-perforations on certain pieces of jewelry, for example. My son loved looking at insects and leaves up close; he was completely fascinated. The only slight downside is the zoom, which is a little limited for really close-up shots. But for an educational toy, it more than fulfills its purpose and is a great surprise at this price.

It works much better than expected. Fun guaranteed! Not just for the kids.

I came across an ad for this on Facebook and decided to give it a try for viewing and photographing micro-minerals—something I struggle with because my hands are sometimes shaky and I need glasses to see (which I usually have to take off to use a traditional microscope). The built-in screen and photo capture button solve both of these problems perfectly. The zoom and focus work perfectly too, and the ability to adjust the brightness of the LEDs is excellent for helping me get that perfect shot. The image I’ve attached is one of my tiniest mineral specimens. The left side shows a photo taken with my iPhone camera, while the right side was taken with this microscope—zoomed in, focused, and set to brightness level 2. In the ~6 years I’ve owned this specimen, I’ve never been able to see this level of detail before. An amazing buy for both adults and kids.

It works amazingly well. My kid loves it. I'm shocked at how big the zoom is!
