Microscope Viewer Camera turns your iPhone into a live camera for your microscope. View specimens on screen, capture photos and video, and share what you see. Works with phone-based microscope systems and eyepiece adapters so the image under the lens appears live on your iPhone screen. Great for classrooms, labs, field work, and home exploration. No more taking turns at the eyepiece — everyone can see the same specimen together. And no more struggling with a camera app that keeps switching lenses on you. KEY FEATURES • Precision manual focus with a large vertical focus slider for fine adjustments • Multi-lens support. Switch between your iPhone's cameras to choose the one on your microscope lens • Up to 7x digital zoom for inspecting fine detail without changing objectives • Auto-Exposure/Auto-Focus lock for stable exposure and focus • Photo and video capture with optional audio capture for recording video narration • Saves photos using JPEG by default, HEIC optional, with selectable quality presets • Full-resolution capture with preserved metadata and no hidden recompression • Quick access to the Photos app for sharing, AirDrop, or digital lab notebooks • Clean, distraction-free interface designed to avoid cluttering the view WHAT IT DOESN'T DO • Switch camera lenses on you when you're zooming in or out • Charge you anything (it's free!) • Collect your data, photos, information, etc. We designed it specifically to solve these problems for teachers & students in schools. WHO IT'S FOR • Students and teachers using microscope adapters in science labs • Biology, chemistry, geology, environmental science, and anatomy classes • Anyone attaching an iPhone to a microscope Microscope Viewer Camera is brand-agnostic and works with any microscope on which an iPhone can be stably positioned in front of the eyepiece lens. The app controls only the iPhone camera and does not communicate with or depend on any microscope hardware. INTENDED USE For educational and hobbyist use only. Not intended for clinical, diagnostic, or medical purposes. Microscope Viewer Camera is an independent app and is not affiliated with, developed for, or endorsed by any medical institution. The app does not guarantee that the camera view matches what is seen with the naked eye through the eyepiece. Image fidelity depends on the microscope's optics, phone placement, and lighting. The app applies no transformation, color correction, or extra magnification beyond what the iPhone camera natively performs — it is a passive viewer and recorder. Tip: on a binocular microscope, place the phone on one eyepiece and look through the other eyepiece with the naked eye to compare the camera view against what you see by eye. PRIVACY Microscope Viewer Camera works entirely on your device. Photos and videos stay in your Photo Library. No accounts, analytics, tracking, ads, or cloud uploads. Requires iOS 17 or later.
