They have many completed campaigns under their belt

Very Compact

Minimum material used

Cost less than many other options, but given the material used, it's still quite costly

This is not their first project and they have always delivered on my expectations.

Super simple and clean design.

The material are chosen to create the minimum waste possible. Even the case is minimalistic in style and material amount.

For what it does the price is absolutely amazing!

It's not their first campaign, so they know what to expect.

They keep evolving the idea that got them started. Never stop looking for a way to make the project better.

That just shown byhow many campaigns they have completed.

I personally am backing this project because the opportunity to introduce the micro world to my grandkids.

Previous Kickstarter projects have been successful

The ratio of usefulness to size (resources to make, portability etc) is very high

It leverages something that most people already have and provides a high level of magnification using minimal additional resources compared to what's required for a traditional microscope

The cost is minor compared to traditional magnification methods such as microscopes

The design is well thought out. The lens has impressive resolution. The size and weight of the lens and stand allow for ultimate portability. The universal phone/lens fitment, the included measurement tool, and the functionality of the lens and app look very promising.

I have used portable microscopes and lenses for many years as a hobby, and this lens seems to be very reasonably priced for what it can do.

This is really cool. Looking forward to receiving mine and finding lots of ways to use it. First up will be getting a closer look at 3D print extrusions to fine-tune slicer settings.

This is such a great idea, especially if you have inquisitive kids locked into their hand phones, another way to allow them to explore things on familiar devices that hopefully sparks interest away from social media and gaming
