The present invention relates to microscope, especially design with magnetically connected modules set to achieve three-distinct functions, a slide-viewing microscope, macro photography camera and slide projector that used with smartphones and tablets.
In traditional desktop style microscopes usually allow various magnification of the sample to be performed as one single function. Different sets of lens are provided in the microscope for different magnifications. The sets of the lens take up a lot of space and make the microscope even more bulky and complicated to use.
Also the disadvantages of the traditional desktop style microscopes are small imaging, insufficient definition, not suitable for biological observation clear requirement, causes eye strain for long time use and not portable.
Compare to the prior arts, the present invention contained magnetic connected camera blocks for easy attached and interchangeability for mobile devices. It had a 3-in 1 function of microscope, macro photography and projector in one package. It is also compatibility with standard 25×75 mm slide and provision of a LED-backlight. So the present invention makes a further solution to the above disadvantages.
The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the shortcomings in the prior art and provide a three-distinct functions, microscope; macro photography and slide projector into one magnetically connected modules block.
The said module block is made up of six magnetically connected modules that can be attached and rearranged. It comprises an illuminator, a slide holder, three detachable objective lenses and a phone mount. When used with a smart device, the modules can arrange differently to perform 3 functions: microscope, macro photography and slide projector.
The three detachable objective lenses can be used without a slide holder and illuminator to serve as high powered macro-lenses. Using the low-powered objective lens with the included torch of smartphone enables projection for the sample slide, giving the most dramatic viewing experience across all microscopes.
Also, the module block integrate augmented reality (AR) function which offers animated specimen viewing and conducting virtual experiments to enhance the learning experiences. AR is enabled by scanning a dedicated AR slide through the app.
These and other features, aspects and advantages of the present invention will become better understood with regard to the following description, appended claims, and drawings where:
