Chad's Crappy Corner and another 'cheap science gadget' - his theme for June.

Chad's theme for June picked by our loyal Patreon is cheap gadgets that have something to do with science. His gadget for this week is the endless named: Neewer 60X-100X Optical Zoom Mobile Phone LED Microscope Lens with Universal Clamp for iPhone 6S plus/6S/6/6plus/5 5c 5s,Samsung Galaxy S5 G900H /S4 i9500/S3 i9300/ Note 2 II/ Note 3 III/Note 4 IV

Here's what Amazon says about it: 60X-100X zoom microscope lens for iPhone 6 (and of course all the other devices mentioned in the title above). Comes with universal clamp; Bright LED light of the Magnifying Glass provides enough light at any dim conditions;

Great product for the watch making industry, especially for inspecting the tiny objects; Perfect for biological, jewelry, coins, stamps, antiques, precision parts, etc. 3 out of 5 stars 84 customer reviews. It's $12.99 and Amazon Prime at the link below. 

 

And Chad's take: Chad loves this device!! Watch this video to see just how much he loves it. But, like my LED Tower Light above, his also had a wonky LED switch. At first Chad thought the light wouldn't work at all, which would actually make the device useless since it must be so close to the object you want to magnify. But he got it working and we saw in great detail the lettering on a quarter and even the fibers in a dollar bill! He also saw a bit of fingerprints. This device does magnify a lot, but as you'll see it hard to zoom out since the lowest magnification is 60X, But, Chad thought this was a great buy at about $13.00. Be sure to watch the video of the show to judge for yourself. Amazon link:

 

Not available now on Amazon.
