iDu LabCam Microscope Adapter for iPhone 7/8

This looks quite expensive given that it is essentially a plastic iPhone case with a tube lens in it. The obvious disadvantage being its restriction to a specific iPhone model. If it was possible to use this with different phone models I would consider it.

I purchased this for capturing images from my inverted microscope for cell culture. I get better views with creative holing of my phone than with this adapter. There is no troubleshooting guide, and it totally did not work. I will be returning this item.

The iDu LabCam adapter works really, really well and I'm SO glad I finally have a very quick, easy, non-fiddly way to capture high resolution images and video easily. We have multiple makes/models of microscopes in our lab (compound, stereo zoom, etc), and outfitting each with traditional microscope cameras & software for image acquisition was getting old. Not to mention the image quality of traditional lab cameras can't really compete with the iphone camera (note - we are mostly using brightfield). This adapter is SO easy to use, fits securely on the phone, and keeps the camera centered exactly in the light path. Note that it doesn't screw onto microscope c-mount adapters, rather fits into the eyepiece tube. For how well it is engineered & fabricated, and how much time it saves, it's totally worth it.

This is such a nicely designed adapter. We used it to record a video of a pathologist describing a specimen illustrating some malignancy. The image came out very clear and with the video recording ability we can easily describe what is going on in the slides in real time. Very easy to use, installs in seconds. Will recommend to all my colleagues.

I am a pathologist who uses this adapter every week to take photomicrographs for a tumor conference. The adapter fits the iPhone 7 perfectly. Its construction is of excellent quality. The optical quality of the image is as good as looking through the microscope.

Excellent adapter. I ordered this to capture cell images in lab and I really wasn't expecting much (I've used other adapters out there to my disappointment)...but this was great. High quality pictures, easy to install, and intuitive to use. Worth it.
