About this deal

Adam is our resident expert on all aspects of camera drones and drone photography, from buying guides on the best choices for aerial photographers of all ability levels to the latest rules and regulations on piloting drones. You can also switch your image from portrait to landscape simply by turning the padded eyepiece clamp and readjusting the X, Y, and Z axis to realign your phone with the eyepiece. To measure your Cell Phone Miniscope’s field of view, zoom out as wide as you can and focus your camera on a metric ruler. How many millimeters fit across the screen? This measurement is the diameter of your field of view. Zoom in halfway. How many millimeters fit across the screen now? Finally, zoom in all the way, and determine the width of your field of view at this setting. The digital microscope should also come with an instruction manual that is easy to read and follow. If the microscope is battery powered, the battery should last long, and ideally be rechargeable. It should also come with all the cables you’ll need, like charging cables, USB cables, and the like. At the end of the day, if you don’t want to feel overwhelmed with the task of finding the best iPhone microscope on the market, focus on prioritizing the most important factors we listed above, and look for a microscope that perfectly meets all your specific needs and requirements.

There's a broad selectable magnification range from 20x to 1280x, and power (and portability) is delivered via three AA batteries. To get you started, there are five prepared slides and five blank slides included out of the box. While 2mp is enough for a good quality image, 5mp or higher is preferable as this means the sharpness and precision of your view will be significantly more detailed. Ergonomics and DesignLee, K. J. et al. Simple and rapid detection of bacteria using a nuclease-responsive DNA probe. Analyst 143, 332–338 (2017). You can do this by aligning the camera of your smartphone with the focus lens on the top of your microscope. The image on maximum zoom provides plenty of magnification, and provides a high quality view of the work. In that context it’s better than my big magnifier, as it can deliver a closer view. The positive news ends though when the work starts, as a small but noticeable delay between action and screen leads to something of a learning curve as your soldering technique adapts. Perhaps more disconcerting is an unexpected disorientation in what I can only describe in perspective terms if that’s possible on a 2D display. These effects hold a fascination for me as someone who can’t see stereoscopic 3D, so why does a real 2D LCD microscope not have this problem? I am theorising when I say this, but I suspect that the solution lies in the camera’s depth of field. A mobile phone is designed to take reasonable pictures of everything in its field of view, so it has a particularly wide depth of field. The microscope meanwhile is designed to bring objects at a particular distance into sharp focus, so with its narrow depth of field it transmits some depth information in terms of focus. Our brains subconsciously process this, making depth placement of a soldering iron an easier process.

For instance, in Central Africa, certain insects such as mango flies, deer flies, and mosquitoes are prevalent, and if you get bitten by one, a usual result is to get a localized eye infection from a worm or nematode. Schneider, C. A., Rasband, W. S. & Eliceiri, K. W. NIH Image to ImageJ: 25 years of image analysis. Nat. Methods 9, 671–675 (2012). Connection: How the microscope connects to your smartphone is also important. Generally, WiFi and USB models have a higher magnification range but are mostly less portable than manual ones. Moreover, some USB models do not support all smartphone operating systems. Meanwhile, the manual ones have a clip-on adapter that allows you to attach it directly to your phone’s camera. Although they have a lower magnification range, they are pretty much straightforward to use with less complication. An almost identical adapter works for my small Meade telescope: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/droid-turbo-phone-to-telescope-adapter If the nature of your work makes it impossible to find a power source nearby, your best option is to invest in a microscope that is supported by a long-lasting battery or both.

Gopinath, S. C. B., Tang, T.-H., Chen, Y., Citartan, M. & Lakshmipriya, T. Bacterial detection: From microscope to smartphone. Biosens. Bioelectron. 60, 332–342 (2014). However, considering it's so cheap and all you need is a phone, it is fun to use and you do get a lot more detail with it than a built-in macro phone lens, but I wouldn't go as far as saying this is a proper microscope. Users claim that you can see cells and microorganisms with this in all their glory, a feat nobody could imagine doing with a product of that size. Not only is all this inspiration included, but the microscope itself has a pleasingly adult feel with adult manufacture and binocular optics. We would prefer the option of higher magnification, but this set is more about revealing the potential to kids and binocular microscopes offer a 3D perspective. The good thing is that most biological and stereo microscopes have this, so it’s likely that this adapter will work.

A particularly interesting app that I’ve come to love, and I’m sure many of you will too, is the NowYouSee Helping Color Blind, which is a microscope slash magnifying glass app designed specifically for color-blind individuals. Smartphones are handy little devices that have a ridiculously wide variety of purposes. Gone were the days where phones were only used to make calls and send texts. Now, a smartphone can be used for things like games, work, banking, and of course, taking photos and videos. This image shows cells being viewed via an add-on clip that turns a smartphone into a fully operational microscope. ARC Centre of Excellence for Nanoscale BioPhotonics This Phone Microscope Attachment is a universal adapter for attaching your mobile phone to a microscope. It connects your phone to your microscope eyepiece or phototube equipped with an eyepiece, so you can view and capture images and video through the eyepiece. Laser-pointer lens—also known as a laser collimating lens—with a diameter of between 6 and 8 mm and a focal length as short as possible (that is, having as much curvature as possible); alternatively, you can remove the lens from an existing (preferably nonfunctioning) laser pointer

This microscope comes with a decent-sized 7-inch screen. And its stand-out function is the ability to re-position the arm, thereby re-aiming the camera on the targeted work area and helping establish more of a three-dimensional perspective. Stereo microscopes, meanwhile, have two separate (binocular) eyepieces and two optical paths to render their subject in a more three-dimensional way. When buying any kind of microscope, the most important thing is always its performance and image quality. In other words, the microscope should work well and allow you to see highly detailed, crystal clear images of your specimen. This is important regardless of whether you’re a hobbyist or a professional microbiologist.
