Carson now offers our 40x-400x beginner compound microscope in a bundled package with a custom retrofitted universal smartphone digiscoping adapter allowing users to use their built-in camera application on their smartphones to record video and take images through the eyepiece of the microscope. Users can then share the videos and images on social media or message them to family and friends. The digiscoping adapter connector is retrofitted to fit over the included microscope eyepiece. The 40x-400x table-top compound microscope is a beginner level biological microscope that is ideal for a student or family. The microscope has a metal body and a monocular head that sits at a 45 degree angle for comfortable viewing. The monocular head also rotates to 360 degrees for easy sharing of the specimen view. Illumination is provided by two bright white LED sources (transmission and reflection) which allow viewing of a wide range of transparent to opaque specimens. The microscope features a filter wheel with 5 color options. The included AC power adaptor (AC 110V-240V, 50-60Hz) allows for use internationally without the need for a voltage transformer. The included Universal Smartphone Digiscoping Adapter fits nearly all smartphones and phablets like the iPhone 6/6S Plus, iPhone 7/7 Plus, iPhone 8/8 Plus, iPhone X and Samsung Galaxy models with cases up to 3.75 inches wide. It is also compatible with dual-camera phones. The horizontal phone alignment is done using a variable pitch screw for fine control when you need it but can also be moved quickly between an iPhone (corner camera) and Android (center camera) positions. The alignment features will not interfere with any side buttons on your smartphone. It is backed by Carson's one year limited warranty. For any issues with compatibility or set up, please contact Carson's customer service department.
