Product Description
This sleek little scope pretends to be a pen while it packs the double-duty power of an 8x telescope AND a precision 30x microscope. Slip it in your pocket and set off for undercover sleuthing, bird-watching, or microscopic investigation. Extend the telescoping barrel to view distant objects 8 times larger! Or explore microscopic details on stamps, coins, insects–even skin–at 30 times the magnification! A must-have for young scientists and wannabe spies!

 Telescope AND microscope in one! August 24, 2005

This pocket scope is a cool little item. It looke like a pen and has a pocket clip, but you can open it to a 8x telescope. AND a precision 30x microscope. Works great for undercover spy games, camping, at the game, or in the yard. But wait, it is also a 30x microscope. Look up close at bugs, secret messages, paper money, or fingerprints. And it is unbelievably cheap in price.
It is durable and made of metal, not some cheap plastic like most you see now days. Would also make a great spy toy or a good gift for a scout.
Sure to delight a kid.... May 25, 2009

All three of my kids love this - 11, 9, and 6. They love the fact they can use it to magnify things in front of them, or can flip it and see things from a distance. They like how compact and light it is, and I think it reminds them a bit of Jack Sparrow's scope in Pirates.
My own thoughts are that the magnifying capabilities are pretty good close up - you can see nice detail on a bug, for example, but it is very difficult to see things in the distance clearly. Also, it would be nice if you could twist the scope closed rather than just push it in - it will just slide right open again if you hold the scope upside down. Finally, I think for kids a thick cord to wear around the neck rather than a pen clip would be more useful.
However, my daughter really treasures this little scope and it was well worth the ten dollars or so I spent on it...
Great "spotting scope" for little boy June 15, 2009

All the scopes for kids I saw were not true magnifying outdoor scopes, but cheap plastic toys. My 4 year old loves Diego and wanted to be able to watch for animals (we have birds and bunnies) in our big yard. This fit the bill and stores easily in his pocket. It has been dropped a few times and holds up well.
fun but not very strong June 29, 2008

The product is a pen shaped "microscope". When you look in one end, it magnifies 8 times, when you look from the other, 30 times. The enhancement is enough for the 4-10 year old to see details and great fun as an introduction to the world of miniature, but not enough for the more demanding viewer, for instance the toy does not have a build-in lightsource, and 30 times enhancement is not enough to really get "in there". It is plenty for viewing leaves, textile fabrics, insect wings, money bills et cet.
I bought it for my 7 yr old, and for the small prize, this is overall a great toy.

I had a similar one when I was a kid. I was very surprise to see the price.
I realized that there is no cheap and good quality stuff as soon as I received it.
