Squishie89 October 17, 2013 Share October 17, 2013 I backed a project on kickstarter for a microscope phone lens. I received the item yesterday and took pictures tonight. The lens is a small creation out of silicone that just sticks onto your cell phone camera with no adhesive. It has the shallowest depth of field you could ever think of, so for taking pictures in the aquarium, can only take pictures of things on the glass. But enough talk, here are some pictures.Uploaded with ImageShack.usThis critter was unexpected. It is some kind of flatworm. I could not catch it and am actually quite concerned about it.Uploaded with ImageShack.usRun of the mill white flatworm Uploaded with ImageShack.us LimpetUploaded with ImageShack.us Copepod Uploaded with ImageShack.us Last but not least, my favorite, an isopod I know some of these are not the absolute best, but I just got this and am still practicing.In case you are curious about the item, here is the facebook website (he is still fulfilling kickstarter orders but expects the lenses to be available for sale soon) and they are not expensive, I believe one lens, with a carrying case, was $15. https://www.facebook.com/MicroPhoneLens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squishie89 October 19, 2013 Author Share October 19, 2013 Update for those of you wanting lenses!" I hope to make lenses available for purchase sometime in the near future, but for the time being I've set up a pre-ordering system. Lenses pre-ordered this way will ship sometime in November The system works using software from a company called Celery that is totally secure, and you won't be charged until your order is ready to ship. You can pre-order here. If you enter in the promo code "ks2013mpl" you'll receive 10% off any lenses that you order. This discount is a mere token of my appreciation and is the least I can do, feel free to share it with your friends. It'll be good for at least a week from today. Why am I waiting until November to ship? Well, there are a few minor issues with the manufacturing and shipping process that I'm not satisfied with. I'd like to make sure I have a sustainable way of fulfilling orders in place first." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
