DESC:FIELD OF INVENTION
The present invention relates to a microscopic device, and more particularly relates to the mobile device assembly attached to the microscopic device.
BACKGROUND OF INVENTION
A microscope is used to see the objects that are not visible with the naked eye. The microscope is used to used and analyse biological specimen such as cells and tissues. The count and morphology of the cells and tissues is further used to diagnose a disease. There are various microscopic devices available that has movie camera, a digital camera, a camera function of a cellular phone, or the like attached with the main frame. The camera is usually attached to the eye piece of the microscopic devices. The
eyepiece holder is rotated, which in turn rotates the mobile device for achieving the maximum magnification. Also, once the mobile phone is attached to the base with the camera installed, the optical axis of the lens is aligned with that of the camera lens in the mobile phone with built-in camera exposed by the base. Further, when the glass slide is moved in X-Y axis, the micron of the glass slide starts getting blurred and the glass slide gets out of focus.
Further, the mobile device has to be attached and removed from the eyepiece multiple times. The disadvantages with respect to the available microscopic devices include that the mobile device is not capable of capturing videos of the tissue specimen. Therefore, there is a need of a microscopic device having an auto-focus feature and is capable of capturing pictures and videos of the biological specimen.
