Abstract
A microscope lens system includes a body having a surface, a microlens, and an aperture positioned between the microlens and the surface. In the embodiment, the body is configured to position a mobile device on the surface such that a camera lens of the mobile device is aligned with the aperture.
Claims (20)
1. A microscope lens system comprising: a body having a surface; a microlens; and an aperture positioned between the microlens and the surface, wherein the body is configured to position a mobile device on the surface such that a camera lens of the mobile device is aligned with the aperture.
2. The system of claim 1, wherein the microlens is one of a ball lens, a hemispherical lens, a hyperbolic lens or an aspheric lens.
3. The system of claim 1, further comprising a shroud configured to facilitate holding of the camera lens of the mobile device in alignment with the aperture.
4. The system of claim 3, wherein the shroud is configured to be removably coupled to the body.
5. The system of claim 1, further comprising an insert configured to be removable positioned within a recess of the surface.
6. The system of claim 1, wherein the insert includes the aperture.
7. The system of claim 1, wherein the body further includes a clip portion configured to fasten the body to the mobile device to facilitate holding of the camera lens of the mobile device in alignment with the aperture.
8. The system of claim 1, further comprising: an object platform configured to hold an object at a focal plane of the microlens.
9. The system of claim 8, wherein the object platform further includes a light source configured to illuminate the object.
10. The system of claim 1, wherein the mobile device is configured to capture an image of the object through the microlens.
11. A method comprising: instructing a manufacturing apparatus to fabricate an adapter body such that the body is configured to house a microlens and include an aperture positioned between the microlens and a surface of the body, wherein the surface is configured to hold a mobile device in a position such that a lens in the mobile device is aligned with the aperture.
12. The method of claim 11, wherein the microlens is one of a ball lens, a hemispherical lens, a hyperbolic lens or an aspheric lens.
13. The method of claim 11, further comprising: instructing the manufacturing apparatus to fabricate a shroud configured to facilitate holding of the camera lens of the mobile device in alignment with the aperture.
14. The method of claim 11, further comprising: instructing the manufacturing apparatus to fabricate an insert configured to be removable positioned within a recess of the surface.
15. The method of claim 11, wherein the body further includes a clip portion configured to fasten the body to the mobile device to facilitate holding of the camera lens of the mobile device in alignment with the aperture.
16. A computer usable program product comprising one or more computer-readable storage devices, and program instructions stored on at least one of the one or more storage devices, the stored program instructions comprising: program instructions to cause a manufacturing apparatus to fabricate an adapter body such that the body is configured to house a microlens and include an aperture positioned between the microlens and a surface of the body, wherein the surface is configured to hold a mobile device in a position such that a lens in the mobile device is aligned with the aperture.
17. The computer usable program product of claim 16, the stored program instructions further comprising: program instructions to cause the manufacturing apparatus to fabricate an insert configured to be removable positioned within a recess of the surface.
18. The computer usable program product of claim 16, wherein the body further includes a clip portion configured to fasten the body to the mobile device to facilitate holding of the camera lens of the mobile device in alignment with the aperture.
19. The computer usable program product of claim 16, wherein the computer usable code is stored in a computer readable storage device in a data processing system, and wherein the computer usable code is transferred over a network from a remote data processing system.
20. The computer usable program product of claim 16, wherein the computer usable code is stored in a computer readable storage device in a server data processing system, and wherein the computer usable code is downloaded over a network to a remote data processing system for use in a computer readable storage device associated with the remote data processing system.
