Microscope Adapter for iPhone - iNTER LENS

iNTER LENS microscope adapter for iPhone
Relay-lens iPhone microscope adapter for imaging & video documentation

The iNTER LENS is a dedicated microscope adapter for iPhone. Instead of simply holding the phone over an eyepiece, the adapter uses a relay-lens optical system to help project the microscope image to the iPhone camera with reduced distortion, aberration and vignetting when properly matched.

It is useful for microscope photography, video recording, classroom demonstrations, inspection work and laboratory documentation.
A dedicated attaching case is required for each supported iPhone model.

Why iNTER LENS?

Issues with Simple iPhone Microscope Holders

  • Camera center often needs to be readjusted after removal.
  • Vignetting can make the image look like it is viewed through a small hole.
  • Peripheral distortion and lower edge resolution may occur through eyepiece-based setups.

Relay-Lens Solution

The iNTER LENS replaces the eyepiece-side optical path with a built-in relay-lens design that better matches the iPhone camera. This helps improve usability and image quality compared with simple mechanical smartphone holders.

Comparison of iNTER LENS and common iPhone microscope adapters

Important: Actual image quality depends on microscope model, objective magnification, eyepiece tube or C-mount configuration, iPhone model, camera settings and sample conditions.
