My apologies for cross-posting...

Someone has asked me about microscope attachments for iPhone. I've seen
lots of ads, but I haven't looked closely at any of the products. Do any
of you have opinions about products that turn your iPhone or Android into
decent microscopes? I'm not sure if she wants to go with a stand and
slides, or just take nicely magnified images on the go. I think the
former...

Aloha,
Tina

I have made a number of iPhone microscopes using a 3D printer and glass beads.  They are cheap and fun, but not at all serious.  Lighting is a real problem.  I have seen several commercial items in the Apple Store that looked more like a real microscope.  I can supply info on either if interested.  Dave

Olá Tina,

-no comercial interest on my side-

http://upeek.net from scrona ag has recently been funded and will appear in
June 2016 as a commercial product.

http://iolight.co.uk/ will appear during 2016.

I have tried in vain to get any replies from the Fletcher lab at Berkeley
with respect to if and when their system will become commercially
available. http://www.foldscope.com also seems to be a rather academic
endeavour.

Let me know in case your research yields anything exciting.

Thank you,  Jens

acridine orange. The*microscope*was manufactured using rapid prototyping

(lymphocytes, granulocytes, and monocytes) using samples of peripheral
whole blood stained with acridine orange.

Optimizing modulation frequency for structured illumination in a

Fiber-optic microendoscopes have shown promise to image the changes in
nuclear morphometry that accompany the development of precancerous
lesions in tissue with squamous epithelium such as in the oral mucosa
and cervix. However, fiber-optic microendoscopy image contrast is
limited by out-of-focus light generated by scattering within tissue. The
scattering coefficient of tissues with columnar epithelium can be
greater than that of squamous epithelium resulting in decreased image
quality. To address this challenge, we present a small
and*portable*microendoscope system capable of performing optical
sectioning using structured illumination (SI) in real-time. Several
optical phantoms were developed and used to quantify the sectioning
capabilities of the system. Columnar epithelium from cervical tissue
specimens was then imaged ex vivo, and we demonstrate that the addition
of SI achieves higher image contrast, enabling visualization of nuclear
morphology.

A few years ago I was sharing an office with a couple of academics from a now-disbanded archaeological microscopy facility.  They were evaluating a commercial field microscope which used a mobile phone as a camera.  Because their facility has been disbanded it will take me a little while to get in touch with them (especially because they might be out in the field right now).  But commercial solutions DO exist and I will report back when I can.

The people at Echo Labs (makers of the Revolve microscope, of Austin Bianco
fame) were handing out wooden microscopes that you can use with any
smartphone at ASCB in San Diego. Nifty contraption, better than foldscope
in my hands.

See photos of the microscope in my tweet:
https://twitter.com/christlet/status/677896326546370560

You could ask them maybe?
