Turn your phone into a microscope by taping a special lens over your handset's camera
How would you like to turn your smartphone into a microscope using a process as easy as applying a Band Aid to a boo-boo. Currently in the process of raising money via Kickstarter, Blips is a stick-on lens that turns any smartphone into a digital microscope. There are actually two different lenses in each box. There is the .5mm thin Macro lens, and the 1.2mm thin Micro lens.
The basic kit priced at both $17 USD and $19 USD have both been sold out, and there is still a $23 tier available. The retail price will be $34 USD when the product launches in September. The Lab Kit is priced at $46 USD. It will retail for $68 USD. We know the product will launch because the target goal of $17,096 has nearly been doubled with another 38-days to go.
If you're into science, or just like photographing Macro close-ups and microscopic images, you will enjoy Blips. The sticky tape can be used over and over again. And Blips makes a great gift for the scientist in your life. If interested, click on the sourcelink.
