The 2nd one at 5:04 will fit on almost every phone as its adjustable, not at all difficult to attach once you try it. I just ordered a replacement for one I lost E20 AliEx.
you had to zoom in using your preferred microscope. However, there are others that you complained about their low mag but at 1x in your camera phone. You should have zoomed in to make the comparison fair or gave them the credit that they covered the full image circle.
Hi, you are correct, this is an error in the video, and I forgot to pinch to zoom because the FOV of some of the smartphone microscopes covers all of the FOV that your camera usually has. The biggest issue is that I didn't pinch to zoom with the Apexel macro lens. Once you pinch to zoom with that one it brings the magnification to slightly less than, but effectively equivalent to the black mobile microscope that I recommend.
Not with a handheld phone microscope adapter. The problem is that the XY axis needs to be held extremely rigidly for focus stacking to work, far more rigidly than your hands can hold it.
I saw a commercial of this kind of product only for iphone, price about 130€. I'm glad I found that commercial because I wanted to know if there's similar products for other smartphones and I found this video! I need this first lens
I'm looking for something I could attach to my phone to be able to zoom in to see stomata and things at the cellular level. I'm wondering if that long one had some kind of like stabilisation for the whole phone so it wasent hanging off the edge would be almost like good enough for a botany student yea? Is there any places that sell something like that. A frame that would just make the phone a non issue. Mabie it folds up. Even if it takes a min to set up. Would be like bringing samples to the set up but being able to leverage the power of my phone. The macro I can get already with my pixel 6 a is amazing. Any suggestions? Something between the 50-200 cad price point but under 100 would be ideal.
At that price range you could totally afford a monocular compound biological microscope with a smartphone microscope adapter, that's the direction I would go in at least. At that high of a magnification, holding the setup still enough becomes the biggest challenge.
hey, nice video, im searching for something like this with a higher distance. just want fix little tech stuff on smartphones and processors. so i need a few cm distance in between the camera and the object to can do some work. maybe u have an idea i can use :)
I work with developmentally disabled adults and am looking for a really reasonable way for them to look at microorganisms and such. What suggestion do you have?
I really wanted to buy the generic 10€ microscope on your store. However, I saw the shipping costs being 90€!!! I'm sorry but I can't believe this are normal shipping prices. I live in Spain btw
I bought the one you recommend a few weeks ago thanks to your other video, I love it, the LED is really useful :) Can't wait to get a "real" microscope tho, I'd love to see water and stuff, sadly I'm not from the US so it's hard to find any good microscope that isn't super expensive :(
Glad you are enjoying your mobile microscope! I never realized how expensive international shipping is and how high tariffs are in some countries until I started selling products internationally. We are stocking full sized microscopes in a couple weeks, hopefully we will be able to find you one that has reasonable costs and shipping to your country. Fingers crossed!
Hello Micro Safari team, thankyou for your review and informations . Which Microscope is best suited for Samsung S24 Ultra? Your inputs will be much appreciated to try it out.😊
Yes, works great on iPhones! We recommend downloading the Yammer App for iphone which gives you more control over your camera and putting the smartphone microscope over the telephoto lens. This advice should apply to any smartphone microscope.
The challenge is that bacteria require one of the highest magnifications of any sample, and also need either low NA transmitted illumination or to be stained, which makes it impractical to observe bacteria with a simple smartphone microscope. The simplest and cheapest way to do this would be an inexpensive compound biological scope and pair it with a 'universal' smartphone adapter. Out of our lineup, the MS-205T would be the cheapest microscope that will accomplish this.
I want to retouch scratches on vinyl records. I need something that I can get a needle between scope and record using my hands to view in real time and remove scratch. Micro or macro lens. Thanks f32vinylguy.
Do you have a link to the specific model that you are talking about? I think I may have tested a Carson one a couple years ago but it didn't make it into the video. I either gave it away or it is sitting in one of my equipment boxes.
@@micro_safari mm-250/350/380 are suitable for smartphones...i had the zorb one, but it didn't function on my mac, and i was thinking of buying one of those!!! (maybe micromini!!!)
@@yannisgk We've done quite a bit of exploring the wholesale purchasing of microscopes in the last couple months since we are going to carry our own inventory of microscopes, and I recognize most of their microscope selection as being white-labeled chinese wholesale microscopes. That's not to say that they are bad quality products, and they might manufacture some of their own products, but for the most part they are just reselling chinese microscopes with their brand name on it and not making that part obvious.
@@micro_safari i don't believe that their microscopes are china's origin....i haven't found a chinese microscope (at least), EXACTLY as theirs...resembling them, yes, but i am sure they are not rebranded....in opposite, they are very good products for their price!!! i understand you must market your own products, but don't put "mud" on carson!!! thanks!!!
My phone is Xiaomi K20pro, which is in incompatible list for your recommended scope. Oh man. I love the phone and I love the scope too. Is there anyway these two devices can co-op? A complete redesign of the scope maybe? There must be a smarter, more convenient and more compatible way for these scopes to attach to ANY phone. FIND it gentlemen at Micro Safari! PLEASE! your design has so limited compatibility ! and I AM NOT YELLING!
I'm deep enough into microscopy at this point that things that are obvious to me I forget are not obvious to most people. Due to the physics of how light works, high magnification phone microscopes that you hold with your hand are practically useless. The depth of field is so shallow that you can never get an in-focus image, you need a high NA illumination source to resolve any detail at that magnification, and it is impossible to hold your hand still enough that the field of view isn't constantly moving around. The majority of the body of a standard microscope that can practically image high magnifications is devoted to holding your sample incredibly still, allows you to move it microscopic distances, and illuminates the sample in a very particular way such that you can resolve details near the wavelength scale of the light. Hope this helps!
What kind of a "review" is this? I get it that you want to pitch your product, but at least introduce names of each model, especially the last one, AKA "the chunker". The chapters are all out of whack too.
I gave the brand names of all the microscopes that had names. Most of the models were purchased directly on Alibaba. This review was more intended to go over the physical designs of different smartphone microscopes rather than specific brands since 90% of companies are just white labeling anyway. If you'd prefer to purchase our recommended smartphone microscope not through us, just look for mobile microscopes that have the same physical design. You should be able to find it elsewhere for cheaper, but we can't verify the final product quality since we are working with a specific supplier that charges more but also has a history of better product quality. We are also QA'ing each mobile microscope individually. Cheers
this is a sales pitch, not a review, not an overvierw
lots of missing data.. Id like to have known more about some of the ones missed out too
The 2nd one at 5:04 will fit on almost every phone as its adjustable, not at all difficult to attach once you try it. I just ordered a replacement for one I lost E20 AliEx.
So what is the chunky one named? Looking for it cant find, any help?

Hi, i have a really thick phone with power bank built in, is there a microscope that will fit thick phones? tia
Any way to do focus stacking?
Not with a handheld phone microscope adapter. The problem is that the XY axis needs to be held extremely rigidly for focus stacking to work, far more rigidly than your hands can hold it.
Have you tried the carson microflip?
Can any of these see dust mites?

What if I use the microscope attachment to my microscope on my phone ??!?!?!?!?
Another awesome vid! thanks for demonstrating these scopes

Thanks for this, I'm looking at getting a phone microscope for a video I'm making and this was really helpful!
Your content deserves an award mate ❤🎉
but what is the magnification factor??
I just need a 10x microscope for looking at my crystals
you should state the magnification factor

Last and second last are real kind microscope other are more zooming macro lens.
phone microscope would be really useful for looking at crystals
I normally use a Jeweler's loupe

Keep looking, you can find some for $3!
