DIPLE is a compact, easy-to-use kit which transforms any smartphone into a microscope. Ever wanted to glance at your own RBCs? Just get a blood sample (kids – under adult supervision) and fire up your smartphone-powered DIPLE! Not just this, you can observe microorganisms, other cells, delve into mineralogy or even materials science with this kit. You can get up to 1000x zoom using a smartphone or a tablet as a monitor. The setup? Obnoxiously simple! Simply place your smartphone camera on the optical system and you’re all reared up to go. The design is portable and robust, where it can easily brush off a drop… or 20. In addition to your phone’s camera, the DIPLE has additional lenses which allow different levels of magnification. DIPLE Red has a resolution of 3 microns which lets users gaze at cells or microorganisms in our surroundings. DIPLE Grey sports a resolution of about 1 micron, which, in addition to cells, also lets users see bacteria! DIPLE Black, the most powerful one, has a resolution below 1 micron which lets you examine cells in exquisite detail. The kit is fully modular. Lastly, there are two different sample stages offered to users – the standard stage, with a mechanical support for your sample and you need to manually move your slides to scan different areas and the fine stage, where the slide can be moved using mechanical screws. Observing the microworld just become more accessible and fun!
What if you could have the immersiveness of a 4K, large-screen TV with the portability of a laptop? Anker’s Nebula Cosmos Max attempts to bring you just that.
