Blips are mini objective lenses incorporated on a flexible strip, designed to attach directly to your mobile phone in a novel facile manner.
They offer a simple and easy to use system, bridging the gap between the macro and micro world without the need of either a hand lens or a low resolution microscope, and with the additional benefit that the accompanying free downloadable software enables you to view/manipulate and edit captured images/videos on your phone.
Several lenses are available with magnifications between approximately x 5 and x 45. Lenses can be purchased either singly, or as a kit of 2 or more lenses. A Labkit is also available which includes several lenses and other components for using using your phone like a microscope.
