The free app we made for taking pics & videos through a microscope using an iPhone or iPad (without pesky automatic lens switching) is available internationally now. This video shows it in action. Here's a link to get the app: apps.apple.com/us/app/micros…
A cheap solution to a common problem: how to enable students to take smartphone photos readily through microscopes in teaching labs.

Now in the App Store for iPhones and iPads! We designed this FREE app so you can take photos on any microscope where you can stably place your iPhone or iPad in front of an eyepiece lens. It won't collect your info, and it won't switch lenses on you when you're zooming in or out!

🐻🦠 Tardigrades💧✨ These microscopic animals can survive extreme conditions by entering a dormant state called cryptobiosis, making them a fascinating model to study stress tolerance, desiccation, DNA repair, and the limits of life. 🧬🚀📸 Bob Goldstein Lab. #ModelMonday
In nine years, 291 K-12 educators from 63 of the 100 NC counties built their own microscopes at NCTIES conferences. Thanks @ncties and #ncties26 attendees for a great workshop last week! And thanks @NSF for support!

Photos taken by K-12 educators at #NCTIES26 yesterday in the microscope-building workshop. That was fun! Thanks so much @ncties & @NSF for support! NC teachers: I expect to restart in-school workshops soon, once as our grant supporting them is funded again. #nced #STEMEducation
This is your chance! 3:15 today! I’ll have to miss @ncties next year, so come today and you’ll walk away with your own microscope :)

Such a great workshop! Super excited for the opportunity to bring this workshop to one of my campuses in the future!! 🔬#NCTIES23 #OnslowDLT
Here are the comments from a previous year at NCTIES … this will be fun! And you’ll walk away from the Thursday 3:15pm workshop at #ncties26 with your own microscope!
This could be YOU! This is a fun workshop... tell your friends and add it to your #ncties26 schedule:

SCIENCE NERD Moment: By far one of the best sessions! The fact it only takes practical materials to build these microscope! TOP TIER! 👏🏾👏🏾 I can’t wait to bring this PD to Ignite because I am! Prepare to be sick of me!! 😝🩷🔬👩🏾🔬 @IgniteOnlineDPS @ncties
