Nurugo: 400x microscope for smartphone

“You can extend the capabilities of a smartphone not only through software,” thought California start-ups and presented a miniature Nurugo microscope with magnification up to 400x to Indiegogo. In just ten days, he collected the necessary amount to run. Now you can make a pre-order, the shipment is planned in June of this year.

Design



A miniature module measuring 35x20.5x5 mm and weighing less than 4 grams consists of a magnifying lens and a patented optical light diffusion system:







The tablet is placed in the holder (there are two types - with vertical and horizontal mounting). The assembled module is attached to the clip to the smartphone so that the lens Nurugo coincides with the lens of the smartphone.



The device does not require energy and recharging. No batteries either. Nurugo is compatible with all smartphones on iOS and Android. And it looks beautiful:







How it works



It is offered to work with the received images, scale them from 18 to 400 times, take pictures or shoot video with scenes from the microworld in the interface of the original Nurugo Box application.







Before starting work, manual focusing of the lens is made using a plug that is included in the kit:







To illuminate objects using the built-in smartphone light source. The light passes through the diffuse lens inside Nurugo:







There are a lot of colorful examples of using a microscope on the project page on Indiegogo; for clarity, we’ll give only the difference between the magnification of objects by 18 times and 400 times:







So the device is really useful for scientific use, and for beautiful photos in the social network.
