An optical microscope generally includes an objective lens and an eyepiece, and the magnification of the objective lens and the eyepiece is used to magnify the object to be multiplied several times so that a smaller structure can be clearly seen by the human eye.

For example, the Republic of China Invention Patent Publication No. 513582 proposes a microscope image transfer system, which is a microscope image transfer system that can specify a magnified image taken at a desired magnification on a still image, and is characterized by: a brightness information memory Means, a Z-direction position correction means, an auto-focus implementation feasibility determination means, an XYZ position memory means, and a Z-position restoration means for memorizing the brightness information of the designated frame area on the still image, The Z-direction position correcting means is for correcting the position of the Z-direction accompanying the deformation of the microscope XY table, and the auto-focusing execution determining means is used for judging whether or not the auto-focusing can be performed before the enlarged image is taken in the still image, the XYZ position memory By means of the autofocus execution possibility determination means, it is determined that the XY position of the XY table of the memory microscope and the Z position of the microscope XY table are possible when the auto focus is performed, and the Z position restoring means performs the judgment means by the auto focus , judged that the auto focus is not sustainable, the recovery is Yi before the XYZ position memory means followed by the Z position of the XY stage of the microscope.

In the above prior art, most of the microscopes have to be combined with complex systems and expensive and huge precision instruments in order to capture clear microscopic images and convert them into image files. However, this method requires not only a relatively large space to be placed. In addition to the equipment, it also requires a higher cost to purchase equipment and maintenance equipment.

The main object of the present invention is to solve the problem of the waste of space and the high cost of purchase and maintenance, in order to solve the microscopic image in the microscope, which requires complicated systems and expensive and huge precision instruments.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides an optical microscope for a handheld mobile device, which is equipped with a handheld mobile device having a shooting element, the optical microscope comprising a base, a lighting unit, a supporting arm, a stage, An objective lens group and an imaging lens assembly, the base has a first top end, the light emitting unit is disposed on the first top end, the support arm extends upward from the first top end and has a second top end, the second top end a first height from the first top end, the stage extending laterally from the support arm to the light-emitting unit and having a placement surface for placing an analyte, the placement surface being spaced from the first top end a second height, wherein the second height is lower than the first height, the objective lens set is disposed on the second top end of the support arm and extends toward the stage, and includes at least one objective lens, and the imaging lens set is disposed on the objective lens And optically coupled to the objective lens set, comprising at least one imaging mirror and a top portion, the top portion having a through hole communicating with the imaging mirror and a device for carrying and restraining the handheld mobile device Sliding horizontal plane, and the imaging element captures a microscopic image of the analyte through the through hole through the objective lens and the imaging lens.

It can be seen from the above that the achievable effect of the present invention over the prior art is that the optical microscope can directly capture the optical microscope through the imaging lens assembly and the handheld mobile device having the imaging element. This microscopic image is not conventionally required to be combined with complex systems and expensive and huge precision instruments, thereby reducing space waste and reducing the cost of purchasing equipment and maintenance equipment. In addition, since the handheld mobile device generally has a small size and a light weight structure, the user can carry the microscopic image captured by the handheld mobile device with him to improve convenience.
