Turning your iPhone into a microscope isn’t fun if there is no practical use for it unless you a science wizard or just curious about things not clearly visible to your eyes. In the latter case, the Micro Phone Lens can help in making the iPhone act like a portable microphone. The phone’s camera needs to be at 5 megapixels for this lens to work properly which sticks directly on the built-in lens of the smartphone. Once the lens is in place, it can readily zoom and magnify objects 15x at high focus.
But we’ll have to wait for a while since it creator is still finalizing the Kickstarter campaign for his project even though the goal amount of $5,000 has already been breached in just one day. Those who contributed $15 and above are set to receive the lends and the accompanying carrying case. Thomas Larson, the creator, hopes to release a similar lens with a 150X magnification in the future to assist those who may be preoccupied with healthcare in distant places such as the developing world.
The campaign is just a warm up for that 150X goal but even then, the Micro Phone Lens is set to receive a positive response from iPhone users because of its unique functionality of magnifying an object. However, the lens is not confined to iPhone only but also includes Android devices with cameras having 5 megapixels.
