Scientific endeavors are no longer restricted to the lab as seen with these smartphone microscopes that connect easily onto a phone to effectively transform the camera into a fully functioning piece of equipment for studies. The market for smartphone add-ons has exploded within the past while as consumers look for new and innovative ways to upgrade their devices without actually having to upgrade it.
These smartphone microscopes attach and magnify to deliver an experience that's in-line with what a student of the sciences might need to do. Carrying a full microscope around isn't conducive to the modern lifestyle of a student (or a scientist for that matter), which is why we're seeing the rise in smartphone microscopes that'll also allow for capturing photos of your specimen with ease.
