Anodyne Posted May 21, 2015 I don't think this one is good enough for looking at spores (it's only 150x), but I still thought it was pretty cool for a portable pocket microscope & nerdy fun stuff: Turn your smart phone or tablet into a powerful microscope with the 150x magnification Micro Phone Lens. I got a much weaker snap-on macro lens for the phone & it was still good enough for stuff like this: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laila Posted May 21, 2015 cool. ive got a little pocket one but wondering - what do u think of the ones in the link above? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anodyne Posted May 21, 2015 From what I've seen/read of the droplet lenses (video & reviews, never used one), they take a bit of skill to get a clear image, and you'll get a fair bit of blurring around the edges no matter what. I think it's nifty because it's so tiny (= very portable + not cluttering up my house with another cool toy) & has great magnification for its size, but I doubt it's a substitute for a serious microscope.

Laila Posted May 22, 2015 i would go with the amscope thankyou Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ghosty Posted May 23, 2015 (edited) AmScope for sure =) 2000x geez, that's pretty good. Recon that will make red blood cells appear some 5-6mm across. Edited May 23, 2015 by ghosty 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Laila Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) i ended up going with amscope but a diff model. this one 》http://vi.raptor.ebaydesc.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemDescV4&item=200838534833&category=48741&pm=1&ds=0&t=1432868259951 i like the idea of led and is cheaper. im keen for one with the extra 20x eyepiece that goes up to 2000x because i want to have the 800x option over 400/ 600. i doubt ill bother with the 2000x as itll be nothing pretty colours to me Edited May 30, 2015 by Laila Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
