Will this work on an iPod touch? I can't seem to find any microscopes under $100 compatible with an iPod touch.

I have an ipod touch 4 and it did work on it. the adapter was in fact made for the iphone 4 but it does work on my iPod. Its not likely that you will leave the adapter on when it is not in use anyway. so for the money it works...

Not really. The case is designed to fit to an iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S body only. You could maybe squeeze another model into the case if it is smaller than those two models, but I'm not sure. Then again, I'm not even sure if the camera lenses are in the same place on iPod touches and iPhones, depending on which model you have, so that might be something to watch out for if you try to use this. Even if the case doesn't fit, though, you can detach the scope and use it on its own, either with your eye looking into it, or you can directly hold another camera up to the viewport. In this way, you might be able to use it with an iPod touch or other device, but I'm not sure. The only problem would be that it wouldn't be securely attached to the device as if you were using it with an iPhone 4 body. It's a pretty neat tool for looking at microscopic things though!

I honestly have no idea, but mine didn't work with an iPod touch. Although, it was probably just a defective one.

You would need an eyepiece mount for you camera. You can actually take pictures with you cell phone camera by just holding it up to the eyepiece. In both cases however your field of view will be reduced. I would highly recommend one of the Amscope cameras that are designed for the scope. For about $100 you can get one that will take excellent images and even good quality video. In fact, I leave my camera permanently in one of the eyepieces and scan slides using my pc screen and rarely look through the microscope with my eyes anymore. You want to get a camera with a low lux rating that has a small lag time from slide movement to screen movement.But to answer your original question, there is no direct usb or any other digital interface to the microscope itself.

Computer or microscope?......yes...it will work, but if you need more power you must see others brands. Good luck!

you need to hook the Zoomy to a computer for it to work. Meaning you need a computer screen. It is an "electronic" microscope and won't work without being attached to a computer with the software they provide.

This fit my camera but did not work and now I can't get a refund. Its a microscope with a light. the light works, but I can't see anything. So I do not understand its purpose. I have the iPhone 5. The good thing is it was cheap and I am not out that much $. I do not photograph that many bugs or tiny objects.

I haven't tried this, but it may actually work to an extent. The Plugable microscope is not a good option for long term use of this type however. Lighting is not appropriate and focusing would be a pain. You'll need a compound biological microscope, so start saving the pennies. The micro world is amazing, so a decent microscope is a great investment. You won't regret it.

Explain that you have an interest in science and that this microscope will enhance your learning. Honestly, I cannot imagine why any parent would not want to buy this for their child. The microscope is only $25.55, but an interest in science, and pursuing that interest are priceless.

I'll give that a shot. I've noticed that they only claim to support the 5th gen and newer Nano, as well as the iPhone/iTouch. I was using a 4th gen Nano and an old classic (at that time just called the iPod). Now I have a 5th gen Nano, and it seems to work? I'll report back after more testing.

It worked perfectly with my 2nd generation IPod Touch. I just hope I can get it to work with my new 3rd generation touch. It also works with my 3rd generation IPod touch.

Hi Maggie, works perfectly with ipod touch, and the sound quality is very good. I'm very happy with it and recommend it with confidence.

I was curious if this would work with the 3rd Gen iPod Touch myself, since I was looking for a good speaker dock that could go along with that. I've owned Logitech speakers in the past for my PC and HDTV, and wanted to see how well they would do with the newer iPod Touch units. I'm just as hopeful as you are that these will indeed be compatible and not let anyone down.

MANUFACTURER RESPONSE: The biggest issue for this use case is going to be backlighting. The microscope only comes with lights from the lens side, so you would have to set up your own backlight solution. This also wouldn't be good for skin cells, but plant cells are usually large enough to view at this magnification.

I have a 1st Gen iPod Touch - and I love this mic! Again, just download the BlueFire app. Its free, and works great!

I'm not an expert on microscopes, but I don't think so. In short, a good microscope is a good microscope. The extras are helpful for smaller children. My elementary aged children don't use some of the accessories simply because they think it's for an older child. Just check if it does the proper magnification level an 11 or 13 year old needs for school or research.

a suggestion. go to www. celestron.com go to digital microscopes and look at the options. there is one for $179.00 that you can attach to a TV or computer screen, light in weight. enjoy the search.

Yes, it works with iPod touch according to their website. 1st Gen - playback with limited control. 2nd Gen - fully compatible.
