First Impressions
OK so it's not really a torch/flashlight in the conventional sense but it is a super small jewellers type magnifier assisted by two quite bright LED's and a single black light UV LED just in case you want to check the house for cat pee?!
This item arrived within about a fortnight. And much like the last one I ordered, it came in a little blue box with a storage pouch and some instructions.
Firstly looking at the pouch, it's actually quite nicely made considering it faux leather. It's soft and protects the Microscope very well.
The instructions are in both English and Chinese but you won't be needing these.
The body of the Microscope is in two parts. The business end of the device (lens, zoom tube etc) is made from good quality plastic. Quite solid.
On the other side of the hinge we have the LED lighting module. This is made from aluminium and feels durable. The 3x button cell batteries live inside this section along with The LED's and switch. The LED rocker switch seems durable for the amount of use its likely to get.
Overall excellent value for money so far

All this for 99p shipped!? Bargain madness
As a miniature Microscope this performs really well.
Zooming in and out of a subject under glass is simple and effective. Adding the two white lights is an added bonus in low light situations.
I have no real reason to check counterfeited bank notes but if I did the added UV feature would be really handy. Although not a bright as the main two LEDs it throws enough out to be effective.

A very useful and very inexpensive mini gadget.
Cheap enough to buy for christmas stocking fillers or just as a gift for someone.
In my experience both adults and children have taken a keen interest and I'm currently ordering more for different people!
For something so cheap it doesn't feel as if it will fall to pieces any second. I expect a few years of service from these.
Buyers will be impressed by the build quality and love the white and UV lighting. Fantastic!
