A tiny and extremely portable field microscope with 20x magnification, the Nikon 20x Field Microscope Mini is perfect for those who enjoying observing little facets of our world in great detail. Observing a magnified specimen through two eyes instead of one is a delightful experience, offering a three dimensionality that reveals more insight of the subject with superior comfort. The observation tubes rotate 180° downward for a sizeable decrease in dimensions when you're not using the microscope.
The Field Microscope Mini is O-ring sealed for resistance to dust and moisture, and offers an 11mm diameter clear viewing field. It has sliding lens covers, with a focusing handle that has torque adjustment for user-tailored control. The specimen plate is concave for easy observing of liquids, and the 51-72mm interpupillary adjustment range allows children to use it as well.

Best Uses
Comments about Nikon 20x Field Microscope Mini:
I just wanted to have something for occasional use indoors,which did not take up much space. It serves that purpose. It has some real shortcomings in that the field of view is quite narrow and eyeball centering must be perfect. Illumination can be had by using a battery powered booklight,or two. I mounted mine on a small desk microphone stand by adapting a mic to 1/4-20 stud. Something by Bogen will work. It focuses well,although it is pure plastic in construction. The optics are good. I would consider it a fun gift for a well regarded pre teen. Not a serious instrument. Just a fun item. It folds up very small indeed, and has a nice carry bag. Simple but fun for a youngster just starting out. Nikon should have included the stage clips, they are pre drilled for same. Accessories are just impossible to find from Nikon USA. Ambivalent? Not sure re recommend it to any adult. I may give it to pre teen granddaughter though.
Pros
- Portability
Cons
- Miss light source
Best Uses
- In the field
Comments about Nikon 20x Field Microscope Mini:
I bought this one to use in the field (indoor and outdoor). Unhappily it was not of great help. Indoor it is impossible to use it without a good light source. Outdoor in the day light there is shadows caused by your head and the obliquity of sun rays reaching the field of observation so that the specimen is not well illuminated.
