I\u2019m Ken Kuwako, your Science Trainer. Every day is an experiment.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Have you ever looked through a microscope and thought, \u201cWow, that\u2019s beautiful!\u201d\u2014only to grab your smartphone for a quick snapshot and find that the focus just won\u2019t cooperate? If you\u2019ve ever had that frustrating experience during a science class or while working on a science project, you\u2019re definitely not alone.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, this is a classic problem that many people run into. The slightest misalignment between the microscope\u2019s optical system and your smartphone camera can prevent the light from forming a sharp image, making it surprisingly difficult to take a properly focused photo. And when you\u2019re trying to hold the smartphone by hand, keeping that \u201cslight\u201d alignment steady is much harder than it sounds.
\nFortunately, there\u2019s a wonderfully simple gadget that solves this problem. Today, let\u2019s take a look at Narika\u2019s Tomeco Microscope Photography Clip<\/a>.<\/p>\n

A \u201cbridge\u201d between your microscope and smartphone<\/h3>\n

The idea behind this photography clip is incredibly simple. Just attach it to the camera area of your smartphone or tablet, then place it directly onto the microscope\u2019s eyepiece.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the photography clip:

Attach it to the camera of your smartphone or tablet, and you\u2019re ready to take pictures.<\/p>\n

Once it is attached to the microscope:

The key is that it keeps the \u201cdistance\u201d between the camera lens and the microscope eyepiece constant. In fact, one of the biggest reasons smartphone microscope photos end up out of focus is that this distance changes ever so slightly from one shot to the next. No matter how carefully you hold your phone, your hands will inevitably move a tiny bit. By physically securing the smartphone with a clip, the Tomeco eliminates the problem at its source.<\/p>\n

See the difference for yourself!<\/h3>\n

The principle makes sense, but what you really want to know is: \u201cDoes it actually take good pictures?\u201d Well, here are some examples.<\/p>\n

Look how clear these photos are!<\/p>\n
