This product previously achieved its goal within one hour on the GREENFUNDING platform, eventually securing support exceeding 1800% of the target amount. Furthermore, it was featured on Fuji TV's 'Mezamashi TV' on March 19, 2026. Due to this overwhelming response, we have decided to hold a second crowdfunding campaign on machi-ya.

Features of the New Lens MH-X250P The MH-X250P lens included in the 'microHunter Kit X250P' is a high-magnification polarizing microscope lens designed for use with smartphones.

It supports observation at an optical magnification of approximately 250x. When combined with the smartphone's zoom function, it allows for the observation and photography of an even more detailed microscopic world. A key feature is the ability to enjoy unique views of rock thin sections, minerals, crystals, and plastics through polarizing observation, which differs significantly from normal viewing.

Additionally, it is compact and lightweight, making it easy to carry. With a smartphone, you can observe and capture images on the spot.
