Probably, but with the focal point basically being the back of the phone, it wouldn’t help much. Microscopes are relatively cheap these days so maybe put the $40 towards a better instrument.

In the biological sciences in particular, microscopes have been one of the ... a high concentration of photons at the focal point, something that also gives it optical sectioning.

The Cary 610 is a single point FTIR microscope, capable of mapping, while the Cary 620 is a Focal Plane Array (FPA) chemical imaging FTIR microscope. With the option to couple the microscope to ...

the scanning function moves the focal point around through the sample in three dimensions, capturing spatial data to go along with the optical information. The stage of [Zach]’s microscope is ba ...
