When the specimens you want to study are out in the wild, you need a microscope that can go out into the wilderness with you. Portable field microscopes are used in areas where a standard microscope is not practical.
These microscopes are lightweight and easy to carry, some being small enough to fit in your pocket. They’re commonly used to inspect the surfaces of metals, coins, stamps, and botanicals. Though it would be easy to assume that portable microscopes would lack in image quality to make up for their portability, you’d be wrong: field microscopes can offer impressively high image resolution even when you’re on the go.
Unique features of portable field microscopes might include solar power options or a magnetic base, which is especially useful in metallurgical applications. Most of these microscopes are monocular, but there are technologically advanced options like the ioLight portable digital microscopes that work with your mobile device to display your samples on your screen instead of having to look directly through a monocular lens. Quite a few of our portable field microscopes are phone-friendly, with some even having a smartphone clip so that you can carry your phone and microscope together.
