The science savvy or even just the plain curious are sure to love the ProScope Micro Mobile, which easily transforms an iDevice into a microscope. With 20x to up to 80x zoom, the ProScope Micro Mobile isn't a simple smartphone add-on, but a proper piece of scientific equipment.

Adjustable LED lights help the ProScope Micro Mobile get an optimal view and [snap micro images](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/moment-1) that help merge traditional equipment with technological advancements like tablet PCs. On that same note, the ProScope Micro Mobile is compatible with the iPad, [iPad Mini](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/abxylute-s9), [iPhone 4](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iphone-4-concept), 4S and 5. As such, I can see the ProScope Micro Mobile becoming standard place in science classes for students to get lab work done outside the confines of a lab or on weekends.
