So you always wanted to be a scientist…except you aren’t. Never fear! The iMicroscope iPhone app is here. When used with a microscope (surely you’ve got one of those kicking around?) you can take ultra-precise scientific photos.<\/p>\n

Whatever you put on the microscope slide—my hot tip is a slice of watermelon, or a strand of hair—you’ll be able to see just fine through the viewfinder of the device. But what if you want a photo of it in all its magnified glory? You download iMicroscope (for $2.99) and take a photo down the eye of the viewfinder, with the app then requiring you to insert the level of magnification you were looking at, for example 40x.<\/p>\n

After that, the image is displayed, letting you zoom in and out, with a scale bar down the bottom for reference. You can email the image, or save it to your camera roll—and when you go back to it later, it will auto-format to the magnification you last viewed it in.<\/p>\n

Check out the video below for a demo on how it’s done, by the suitably nerdy and squeaky-voiced developer. Ahh, scientists. [iMicroscope<\/a> via Technabob<\/a>]<\/p>\n
