That Im not sure about. Mine has gotten wet several times but I havent dropped it in water yet. Im fairly sure if you did drop it in water, you could retrieve it, dry it off & out, removing the battery, & all would be well. Id give it time to throughly dry tho, probably 24 hours, then test it. These are made to take some abuse so I think it would survive.

Carson MicroMini Pocket Microscope, 20x Magnification, LED and UV Light, Blue

Carson MicroMini Pocket Microscope, 20x Magnification, LED and UV Light, Blue

Q: Is this too powerful (or too difficult in terms of say lens size) to use for splinter or bee sting removal?

We would recommend the Carson Lighted MagniGrip 4.5x LED Lighted Magnifier with Precision Tweezers (MG-88) for splinter or bee sting removal. This product is also available on Amazon via this link: https://www.amazon.com/Carson-MagniGrip-Magnifier-Precision-MG-88/dp/B0011WYMI2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1541001884&sr=8-1&keywords=carson+mg-88

Q: Could this be used to find splinters?

Yes. If a typical hand-held magnifier does not work, the MicroMini can be used to find splinters.

Q: Hi, do you have a shopify store?

Hi Zeeshan, No, unfortunately, we don't have a shopify store. We encourage you to contact our customer service at info@carson.com, we will be happy to help you to find the best option to serve your needs.
