Super 700nm resolution, 1200x magnification, 1/2 inch 1/60 oz, fit to any smartphone
Since Antony van Leeuwenhoek's revolutionary invention in the 17th century, microscope technology has seen remarkable progress. However, even in their portable versions, high-performance microscopes are often associated with bulkiness, weight, and exorbitant costs.
But in 2018, we introduced the game-changing fingertip microscope- a true marvel in mobile microscopy. Its optical performance rivaled professional desktop microscopes while being as portable as your smartphone.
Achieving outstanding optical performance in such a tiny phone microscope was no easy feat. Yet, with relentless dedication, we developed the updated one with more advanced features, featuring a unique optical structure that sets new standards for magnification and resolution.
Today, we invite you to experience the future of microscopy with the Fingertip Microscope- a marvel of innovation that redefines what a fingertip microscope can do. Thank you for being part of our journey, and we can't wait to share this incredible advancement with you all. Together, let's continue pushing the boundaries of what technology can achieve.

The first smartphone microscope achieves submicron resolution.
The resolution capacity of optical microscopes is constrained by both interference phenomena and the wavelength of visible light. Achieving resolutions in the hundreds of nanometers, which align with the wavelength of visible light, poses a significant challenge. In this context, It emerges as the trailblazing smartphone microscope that achieves resolution levels at the submicron scale. It can resolve the USAF1951 test target group 9, element 4, corresponding to 0.69 microns.
Extremely high magnification: up to 1200x
It represents a remarkable advancement in magnification capabilities. we have pushed the boundaries further to provide you with an even more powerful magnification experience.
Stable focus control with the focusing stand
Considering the valuable input from our dedicated backers, we've developed a precision-focused stand and integrated it into this. This addition proves to be especially crucial when dealing with the elevated magnification levels of it.
Very low distortion: Comparable to a desktop microscope
We used a grid calibration target to test the distortion. No noticeable distortion was observed, even in full view at the edge of the visual field.
Extremely low profile and weight: ½ inch and ~1/60 oz, easy to carry
Measuring just about the size of a fingertip and tipping the scales at a mere 0.5g (~1/60 oz), It boasts an incredibly slim profile, measuring a mere 3.2mm (1/8 inch) in thickness. Its design ensures a seamless integration with your phone – no parts protrude beyond the phone's edge when installed. Moreover, adding the focusing stand maintains the device's compact form factor. It still adheres to the card-like dimensions, effortlessly fitting into a wallet or any pocket, ensuring your microscopy adventures remain discreet and convenient.
Easy use on any camera phone
The design follows a compact circular style, ensuring compatibility with virtually any smartphone with a camera. Through an ingenious, reusable nano-suction pad, these lenses seamlessly attach to your phone. Whether your device features a single rear camera or multiple, flat, or extruded, these diminutive round lenses are crafted to match your smartphone's camera setup.
