Ever wished you could explore the microscopic world without lugging around bulky lab gear?
Say hello to PhoneMicro300X, a tiny lens with a huge impact. Just clip it onto your smartphone and boom! You’ve got a 300x microscope in your pocket.
No more expensive equipment or complicated setups. PhoneMicro300X brings professional-grade magnification to your fingertips with:
- 300x zoom to reveal stunning detail on anything, from insect wings to gemstone flaws
- 19 lighting modes for crystal-clear views in any condition
- 365 nm UV light to expose hidden features like counterfeit markers, mineral patterns, or biological pigments. Its higher sensitivity enables accurate detection of fluorescent reactions from injected adhesives, glues, and other substances. Plus, it emits near-pure ultraviolet light. Therefore, it reduces interference from purple visible light during fluorescent observation.
- CPL (Circular Polarizing Lens) to reduce glare and enhance reflective surfaces like porcelain or jewelry
World’s smallest LED can convert existing phone cameras into microscopes
And yes, it works with your phone’s built-in zoom, so you can go even deeper into the microscopic universe.

Developed by Apexel, this sleek and budget-friendly lens has officially launched on Kickstarter, inviting curious minds and creators alike to bring the microscopic world into focus, right from their smartphones.
Whether you’re a curious kid, a science teacher, a jewelry appraiser, or just someone who loves discovering the unseen, PhoneMicro300X is made for you. No tech skills are needed; just clip, adjust and explore.
It is ultra-portable, meaning it can easily fit in your pocket, purse, or backpack. With its secure grip, it stays firmly in place, even with movement. You just have to snap & share.
