works well with a steady hand great for children although it has a bit of a learning curve it can be gotten over and after it is it opens a whole new world to the userhow to take a picture or video with this product potentially other products and a camera phone and other cameras1 place specimen on a stable surface15  if the edge of the specimen is being looked at then place a consistent object like a sheet of paper under it2 the microscope must be positioned so that both hands can be free to hold the camera phone to do this place it over the object and paper and bring it into focus at either 60x or 120x adjust the focus so that it is in a desirable focus when hands are not touching it3 open camera app on phone and bring the ev and iso settings down as much as possible your mileage might very with this but i set my own to 200 iso and 2 evthose are the lowest settings on my phone zoom out the camera all the way4 stabilize your elbows on a stable surface that will not allow you to move while taking the picture5 bring the camera lens over the microscope lens a spec of white light should be noticed looking through the phone screen looking through the microscope lens move the phone such that this light is in the center of the screen some visual content of the specimen should come into resolution after bringing it a bit closer however dont bring the lens of the camera too close to the lens of the scope theres a sweet spot you have to find it6 take your picture if your specimen is occupied by some living moving animalcules take your videosteps 36 can be used in a more powerful light microscope up and above 2500x i used this method in biology and chemistry courses in college and the other students and teachers would always be surprised with the clean and highquality picturesvideo i would capture using this crude methodhere are some pictures ive taken using this methodthe first two are of the specimen with just my phone camera new rusted razor i need to returnthe third is my showing the placement of the scope over the specimen notice that the yellow sheet of paper is only under the edge of the razor because thats the portion im interested in this also helped with stabalization because the edge would not be flush with the table i was working onpictures 4 5 6 and 7 show me finding and zooming in on the speck of light i mention in step 5the 8th and 9th pictures are the finished product and make the rust on the edge extremely visiblethe last image is one i took without lowering the iso and ev levels in my camera appbtw my phone is an htc one m7 the first edition that came out and i bought 2 years ago march 2013 i think the camera has a capacity of 4 megapixels so you probably have a much better camera than me that said your mileage may vary but im confident that you can do this with just about any camerahave fun with the carson scope
