Review on ๐Ÿ“ฑ Gosky Smartphone Adapter for Microscopes by Ashton Dahmer

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great adapter and lens, especially for the price.

This is a simple unit with a good design that I bought for use with a triple head microscope. My Pixel smartphone fits without any problems. The design of the adapter makes it easy to install correctly. Lens (plastic vs glass, not tested) excellent. Surprisingly little chromatic aberration and perfect magnification. I was amazed and pleased that this inexpensive device eliminated what I thought would be the need for a separate camera. I get an image that is almost the same as what I see straight through the scope. (I was even able to download a separate program to stream images from my phone straight to my computer.) I have experience with fine optics in microscopes, telescopes and cameras. I used to take photos through telescopes and microscopes. This adapter does not fit the glass level of this level. However, I am pleasantly surprised by the high quality of this device for its price. Highly recommended. If I get a chance, I'll post videos of pond water protozoa at 100x and 400x that I took during the test.

Pros
  • Very easy to use.
Cons
  • Expensive
