The iMicro Q3p is the latest breakthrough in smartphone microscopy, a powerful, compact, and affordable device that turns any smartphone into a high-resolution microscope. Six years after launching the first iMicro, this updated model offers impressive features at just $35, less than 1% of the cost of standard microscopy equipment. With a resolution below one micron and magnification up to 1,200x, the iMicro Q3p can reveal intricate details in objects as tiny as crystal and mineral structures.
A standout feature of the Q3p is its polarizing function, which enhances clarity and detail by controlling light reflections, making it ideal for viewing fine structures. Its fingertip-sized, lightweight design (just 0.42 grams) attaches easily to almost any smartphone camera via a reusable nano-suction pad. The low profile keeps the setup slim and portable, and it’s easy to store in a card-sized case.
The kit includes a focusing stand, a valuable addition for stability at high magnifications, making it simple to view details without distortion. A dedicated app also allows users to adjust magnification and toggle the polarization function on or off, enhancing versatility.
For professionals and students, a stage micrometer in the kit helps measure object scales accurately, making this tool both accessible and functional. The Q3p crowdfunding campaign has already surpassed its goal, demonstrating high demand. A full set of iMicro lenses is also available, offering even more flexibility for microscopy enthusiasts.
With worldwide shipping set for April 2025, the iMicro Q3p promises an exciting future for anyone interested in affordable, high-quality microscopy. Whether for educational purposes, scientific research, or pure curiosity, the iMicro Q3p opens up a world of microscopic exploration right from your smartphone.
