Does anyone recommend a good portable microscope I can use in the field and attach to my phone? (Preferably not the WiFi ones)
Actually good pocket microscopes?

I’m looking at Amazon and I want to purchase a good quality microscope with low latency and high magnification. One that I can bring in the field and also use on my desktop. I don’t need a screen as I feel like I would be wasting money on a feature I don’t need since the phone is a good screen already.
Hi! I'm very new to microscopy and don't know much about it at all, but I have a question:
Does anyone make an actually good handheld/pocket microscope? I have one of those Carson "100X to 250X" ones, and I love the form factor. It's robust, I can just keep one in my bag and look at stuff when I'm out and about. But even my untrained eye can tell the image quality isn't great. At 250X the image is pretty unclear (chromatic aberration?). I get the feeling this thing is basically a toy, and the optics are low quality. I mean it cost like $30 after all. My question is, if I'm willing to spend a little more, does anyone make a microscope in this form factor, but with decent quality optics? Or is the low quality unavoidable with a microscope this small? My searches for pocket microscopes seem to only turn up these cheap things. Any recommendations appreciated!
