Cell-Phone Microphotography

[Peat Burns]

Thought I'd share this here.  I just purchased a nifty device for aiding photography through the microscope with a cell phone.  I shoot photos through the scope all the time, and if you have ever done this, you know that it takes surgeon's hands to find the eyepiece, center the photo, and get a crisp image.  This device clamps to the eye-piece and works on monocular and binocular scopes.  It adjusts for the placement of any cell phone.  A bit pricey at $189 (available online at Scientific Device Laboratory), but I had to have it and already love it.

 

Here's a pic without the phone.

Cool accessory.

I'd be willing to bet some of our more crafty /handy members could jury rig something similar.  

Thanks for the post.

I was thinking the same thing. A piece of plexiglass and a few clamps and you're good to go!

Nice tool. Looking forward to seeing what You do with it.
