Microscope Lens Adapter, Smartphone Camera Adapter Mount, Microscope Accessory (26mm28mm)

I was a little skeptical when I ordered this, but after using it I was impressed. It's not as good as a microscope camera, but for the cost it is well worth it. The all metal construction is great and of good quality. When using this tool I recommend using the "magnifying glass" app of your iPhone and not the "camera" app of your phone. With the magnifying glass app you can adjust the brightness, contrast, and zoom feature, which is better than the camera app on the iPhone. The downside of the magnifying glass app is that it doesn't take video, only pictures. But for viewing it is great. Also, my microscope tube was smaller than 26mm, so I put some thin cardboard in the tube to make the attachment more snug. In the end this addition really is a big improvement of my experience of my microscope.

It does work, but the image is only an inch and a half in diameter, so I have to zoom in on my phone, which loses resolution. But I suspect it would work if I had a lense with a different eye relief. I am not sure if I can get new lenses for my microscope as I'm new to microscopy. But im going to try a lense with a different eye relief when I have $ again to see if that helps. It is usable as is, though. I will try to remember to update if a different lense works better. I saw some other reviews with the same issue, so maybe it can help someone. As for quality, high quality. It has metal and plastic parts, but does not seem cheaply made or like it will break easily. Despite the smaller viewing angle, I still recommend you try it, just keep in mind, depending on your lense, you might get a pinhole. At least, I think it is because of the lense. The images are after I zoomed in on my phone. They are not the same resolution as the could be because I had to zoom in so much.

This holds my Samsung Galaxy with it's case still on pretty snug. I've been able to use this to get since cool photos of river bugs and fungi.

The first question on a modern flagship smartphone is, "Which lens?" There are so many of the things. It's nuts. So it turns out the middle left lens is the correct lens. I aligned the thing pretty precisely with that lens, and interfaced it with my microscope. It wouldn't stay clamped to the 10x eyepiece at all. I had to swap in the 25x. It held to that eyepiece fairly well, but the phone was too far away to focus correctly. All in all, it's a pretty good idea, but it falls short of actually being useful. I guess I'm going to copy the good parts of the design and make my own version of this in my machine shop. I will design a focusing system on the eyepiece connection, so there is a precise way to move the phone in and out. That's the big thing missing from this design. That, and the limited clamping range. It probably works well enough for some people with some phones and some microscopes, but for now, my best option is just holding by hand. I got some cool video of a rotifer swallowing up little spherical protozoa today, no thanks to this thing.

I bought SW200DL microphone and I like it very much. Before I bought 28mm one, I boughT 26mm one becuase Amazon shows 26mm one fit my SW200DL. One the day of delivery, I check the comments here and found that 26mm one actually only fit the 10X eyepiece and does not fit 25X eyepiece come with the microscope. So I cancelled the delivery and re-ordered 28mm one. Today, I receive it and take a try. I found that it is not possible to make the lens of my phone very close to the eyepiece so the picture is very small. I attach the picture with this adapter and the picture without any adaptor so you can find the differnce. I need to return it and just take picture without adapter.

What a great addition. It is very easy to set up and take down and works flawlessly for us. We have used it with the s8,so and my hubby's I phone. Having the ability to take pics or even video is great. But to be honest, I put it on just to look at things.

It doesn’t fit snug on the eyepiece. It hangs loose and is hard to adjust over the phone camera, I’d have to say it does not fit a SW380T swift microscope. It’s kind of clunky and cumbersome in hand as well. Doesn’t really work that well with any pro iPhone or phone with multiple cameras. The quality of photos is meh, but I think that has to do with trying to angle the mount and also the phone camera.

If you don't have the right eyepiece it may be worth it to get one. I was lucky in that I had two from an old Swift scope that had an accident, but the eyepieces were not damaged. This is actually the first microscope phone holder that really worked, and I've tried several.

So kann man wackelfreie, scharfe Aufnahmen auf dem dem Handy sehen und auch weiterschicken. Für meine Zwecke (Koproskopie von Igelkot) genau richtig. Würde ich wieder kaufen.

Its a cheap alternative that allows performing photos and videos of your microscopy using your mobile phone. Sometimes its hard to perfectly center the phone's lens, so that the resulting images are not always perfectly centered. Thus, for this low price I would not expect more...

Ho preso questo adattatore per abbinarlo al mio regalo di Natale consistente in un microscopio Swift SW380B. Mi sono detto:"se il mio telefonino fa immagini decenti in molte situazioni, lo stesso succederà anche in ambito microscopia". Avevo seri dubbi, al punto di provarlo e vedere se era il caso di restituirlo per acquistare una fotocamera nata per il microscopio. Ebbene: non mi sono sbagliato: l'adattatore dà impressione di robustezza e durabilità. Sono strafelice dell'acquisto (ma soprattutto sono strafelice del mio nuovo microscopio).

It works but is awkward to put in place because the part that lines up the camera lense is adjusted with the same tensioning knob as the part that holds the phone in. These should be two separate components.
