IMicro Q2p lens turns any smartphone into a microscope

There's a cool new project on Kickstarter: the iMicro Q2p lens, which adds 800x zoom to any smartphone's camera. It was developed by the Canadian team QingYing, which has previously successfully released three of these lenses.

The new model is distinguished by the presence of polarization - a system of two filters, which allows you to get more contrast and brighter images.

With its help, you can achieve magnification from 100x to 800x, while maintaining high resolution. The lens itself is attached to any lens with a diameter of up to 12.7 mm using a special reusable sticker. It was inflicted with thousands of tiny suction cups that cling to the smartphone like the legs of a gecko and allow the lens to be removed without leaving marks on the smartphone's body.

A novelty is now possible pre-order on Kickstarter for 49 Canadian dollars (≈2,800 rubles), the kit includes a stand to stabilize the smartphone and a stand for the sample, which also acts as a reflector for the flash. For 63 Canadian dollars (≈3,600 rubles), you can order the same set, plus two additional lenses: iMicro Q2 and iMicro C (both unpolarized, iMicro C offers only 25-200x magnification).
