There are low-cost options too:
I had fun years ago using the lens from a CD player laser as a microscope for my phone. The setup is dead simple: hold the lens with a bobby pin and attach it in front of your phone's camera with a rubber band. A portable microscope that records video!
There are also small plastic scopes about the size of a D battery (would recommend one with lights). Definitely toys, but uh toys can be fun too.
- edwcross 5y agoA junior explorer pocket microscope (https://opentinkers.com/collections/toddlers/products/junior-explorer-pocket-microscope https://opentinkers.com/collections/toddlers/products/junior...) is about 10$ and comes without light, but the transparent plastic allows using a phone flashlight. In the end, I find it better than having its own (weaker) light source. Less prone to failure, no extra battery/weight.
