Have you ever tried to take a picture through your microscope with your smartphone? If you have, you know how much hassle it is to consistently take good, sharp microscope pictures. So maybe, annoyed with how cumbersome it is and how much time it takes, you have already looked for a microscope phone adapter? I know I have, and the one I got from Amazon quickly ended up in my drawer and never saw the light of day again. The pictures were no better than with the handheld phone and it took forever to mount that thing.

Disappointed with my Amazon experience I gave up on finding a microscope phone adapter, thinking a proper microscope camera was the only way to go. Then I saw a comment by Skoped Micro on one of my Instagram posts). This microscope phone adapter looked different, and it even featured a dedicated app to take pictures.

This is how I met Cade Wilson, a practicing veterinary surgeon from Oklahoma, who developed this unique microscope phone adapter together with the outdoor company Phone Scope), originally modifying it from a phone adapter designed for a hunting spotting scope. 

Fast forward 5 years and this microscope phone adapter kit consisting of a Custom Phone Case and Microscope Eyepiece Adapter) is ready for purchase and anyone who wishes to do digital pathology can do it through their phone with ease, without having to disrupt their workflow or having to spend thousands of dollars for a slide scanner.
