swiftMicroscope Lens Adapter,Smartphone Camera Adapter Mount, Microscope Accessory (Fits 26mm28mm Eyepieces)

Don’t waste your money. Better just holding phone yourself. Cuts half the screen off straight away as soon as phones attached to it… And it doesn’t fit my eye pieces anyway... even though measurements say it should. Ridiculous.

I was a little skeptical when I ordered this, but after using it I was impressed. It's not as good as a microscope camera, but for the cost it is well worth it. The all metal construction is great and of good quality. When using this tool I recommend using the "magnifying glass" app of your iPhone and not the "camera" app of your phone. With the magnifying glass app you can adjust the brightness, contrast, and zoom feature, which is better than the camera app on the iPhone. The downside of the magnifying glass app is that it doesn't take video, only pictures. But for viewing it is great. Also, my microscope tube was smaller than 26mm, so I put some thin cardboard in the tube to make the attachment more snug. In the end this addition really is a big improvement of my experience of my microscope.

It does work, but the image is only an inch and a half in diameter, so I have to zoom in on my phone, which loses resolution. But I suspect it would work if I had a lense with a different eye relief. I am not sure if I can get new lenses for my microscope as I'm new to microscopy. But im going to try a lense with a different eye relief when I have $ again to see if that helps. It is usable as is, though. I will try to remember to update if a different lense works better. I saw some other reviews with the same issue, so maybe it can help someone.As for quality, high quality. It has metal and plastic parts, but does not seem cheaply made or like it will break easily.Despite the smaller viewing angle, I still recommend you try it, just keep in mind, depending on your lense, you might get a pinhole. At least, I think it is because of the lense.The images are after I zoomed in on my phone. They are not the same resolution as the could be because I had to zoom in so much.

If you don't have the right eyepiece it may be worth it to get one. I was lucky in that I had two from an old Swift scope that had an accident, but the eyepieces were not damaged. This is actually the first microscope phone holder that really worked, and I've tried several.

It works but requires a lot of adjustments to get it just right. Its a pain to use as I have to remove my phone case in order for it to fit correctly and even then I spend 5 minutes trying to get the correct camera lens lined up. Once you get it fitted and in focus the ability to capture incredible images is great. Not just to share but to view together wuth your child and discuss what your seeing.

Was very excited to use but when "installed" on the microscope, I could only see a pinpoint of light. It doesn't have any magnifying lense of its own, so when you remove the eyepiece to mount (which has a small magnification lense of its own) you can't anything. The mount also didn't want to hold onto the phone and it almost fell off several times. Wasted my money here and super disappointed.
