Smartphone-based microscopy offers an inexpensive magnifying solution while downsizing its optical system and considered an easy-to-use magnifier due to its small form factor compared to conventional microscopes. However, they still suffer from difficulties before and during observation: slide preparation and position control. To address this, we introduce a fingertip-attachable microscope that allows a wearer to observe small structures by directly contacting a surface while its position is adjustable by moving one’s fingertip. Resolving power was measured as 645lp/mm, and future directions are also discussed.
