FAQ

What type of battery does the microscope require?

The MicroBrite Plus Pocket Microscope uses one AA battery. The battery is not included in the package, allowing you to choose the brand and type (alkaline, rechargeable, or lithium) that best fits your needs.

Can the microscope be used for photography?

Yes. The microscope’s eyepiece can be aligned with a smartphone camera or a digital camera using a simple adapter, enabling you to capture high‑resolution images of your specimens for documentation or sharing.

Is the LED light adjustable?

The built‑in LED provides consistent illumination, but the brightness can be controlled by adjusting the distance between the light source and the specimen. For more precise control, you may use an external dimmer or a battery with higher voltage.

How does the aspheric lens improve image quality?

An aspheric lens reduces spherical aberration and chromatic distortion, delivering sharper, clearer images across the entire magnification range. This design ensures that fine details remain visible even at the highest 120x magnification.
