Blips Full Kit Metal Series

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.

Blips Full Kit Metal Series

• The complete range of Blips lenses at a low price.
• Macro Plus(~5x), Macro(~10x), Micro(~20x) and Ultra lenses(~33x) are all included in one set, allowing you to explore every aspect of the microworld!
• Exact magnification is dependent on the phone model and is quoted without the use of additional digital zoom. The focal distance of the macro-plus lens is around 20mm, that of the macro lens about 12mm.  As for any powerful objective lens used in microscopy, the depth of focus of the Micro and Ultra lenses is short. Therefore these lenses are most suitable for observing flat samples in transmitted light with a stable mechanical support.
• Lenses are extremely thin, less than 1 mm (≈1/25 inches), allowing you to take crystal clear pictures of insects, flowers, small objects, details of everyday life.
• The addition of two aluminum strips to the sides of the lens allows the Blips film to maintain its shape when applied.
• Ideal for use in the field.
• Spare re-useable adhesive strip included

The software for using BLIPS can be downloaded as a free SMO App (iOS and Android)
