TESTIMONIALS
“I recently purchased DIPLE for personal use and I was highly satisfied with the quality and user friendly used. Therefore, I wanted to use it at our university to students of veterinary medicine, in our parasitology field course. ”
J. Mendoza Phd, Professor @ Univ. of Bari
“As a pathologist, I work daily with a microscope. I tested the Diple system. It is easy to use: you put the slide then your smartphone in the box provided, and after a quick focus, you can observe the slide. Image quality obtained with the Diple system allows making the same observations than those made under a microscope. Nice photos can also be made.
Diple is an easy-to-use system, which could be used for frozen sections examinations in clinics that do not have a microscope.”Dr. Stephanie Patouraux, Pathologist @ University Hospital Nice – France
“The DIPLE red scopes were a success! High students from urban and rural Oregon communities made their own slides and saw plant cell impressions for the first time. The teachers that I worked with are excited to get these microscopes into their classrooms. I am putting together a series of small lessons on plant stomata and environmental adaptation to water loss using DIPLE […]
Thanks for providing such a great product!!”
S. Leiboff, Assistant Professor @ Oregon State University
“Thank you for your company’s assistance in getting DIPLEs sent to us in time for our course. They were wonderful!”
J. Klein, Associate Professor, Department of Biology, University of Wisconsin-La Crosse
“I have been using the Diple microscope for over year now and really love it. ”
Large animal veterinarian, US, NY State
“[…]we acquired a DIPLE microscope from your company, which has proven to be an excellent alternative to traditional bulky microscopes in our project.”
Prof @ University of York, Toronto, Canada
DIPLE is an innovative product that converts any mobile or tablet into a powerful, digital microscope.
This easy to use, compact and portable kit transforms any smartphone and tablet into a POWERFUL microscope. You can see your own red blood cells or even bacteria in seconds!
MICROSCOPY HAS NEVER BEEN SO EASY!
DIPLE is a compact and portable box containing a light source, a stage for samples/microscope slides and a sturdy metal plate with an optical system. To use it, simply place the objective of the smartphone on the optical system.

Three version of magnifiers

Black 150x-1000x*
Magnification: 150x
providing 150x REAL magnifications – resolution of 0,7/0,8 micron – to see cell details, bacteria – working distance of 0.3 mm

Grey 75x-500x*
Magnification: 75x
providing 75x REAL magnifications – resolution of 1 micron – to see bacteria, cells, yeast, microorganisms (protozoans, rotifers, water bears…)… – working distance of 0.6 mm

Red 35x-200x*
Magnification: 35x
providing 35x REAL magnifications – resolution of 3 micron, field of view of around 1 mm – to see cells, microorganisms (protozoans, rotifers, water bears…) – working distance of 1.5 mm
*The magnification values must be multiplied by the digital zoom of your device, ensuring effective magnification of more than 1000x (without pixelation), to see details of less than 1 micron (1/1000 mm)
Two Versions of Mechanical Stages

Fine Stage
The glass slide can be shifted by mechanical screws, for a precise search of microscopic targets.
The glass slide can be precisely moved under the objective lens, with a run of 5mm on the two perpendicular directions. This screw driven system allows for fine movement, while manual scanning of the sampe is the fastest way to find the region of interest of the sample to observe with the powerful Diple objective lenses.
Precise mechanical and magnetic parts guide the lens in the right position, in good alignment with the light source; a 3 steps component provides the right height to one edge of the Diple objective lens, for allowing a precise and user-friendly adjusting of the working distance.

Standard Stage
A simple mechanical support for your samples, where you can shift your slide manually for scanning your sample under the DIPLE lens.
This flat table has precise mechanical and magnetic parts to guide the lens in the right position, in good alignment with the light source; a 3 steps component provides the right height to one edge of the Diple objective lens, for allowing a precise and user-friendly adjusting of the working distance.

DIPLE Lux
The powerful magnifying lens for your smartphone
DIPLE LUX is made up of a DIPLE objective lens, plus a compact EXTRA LIGHT SOURCE for lateral illumination of the samples; a new system specifically designed to work on opaque subjects to observe the tiniest details of their surfaces, out of the DIPLE box.
Magnification: 30x
This version of DIPLE has been released for responding the requests of many backers that asked for a DIPLE model to check microscopic details of thick, or non-transparent samples. DIPLE LUX has a light source connected to the objective tile and it does not need to be attached to the phone; these two features make DIPLE LUX a product compatible with all the phone models.
