I came across this Instructable a while back, and before I could make it, my neighbor (Fatman) built me one.

http://www.instructables.com/id/10-Smartphone-to-digital-microscope-conversion/

These are some of the photos I've taken with the setup.

Pumpkin cell (added yellow filter):


Pumpkin cell (no filter):


Tilia cell:


Onion skin:


Pine needle:


Bryopsis:


Amphipod:


Since I can't leave well-enough alone, I've been tweaking the setup. I'm trying to break 400x with various lenses. I'm also adding a yellow, blue, green, and red filter. We'll see how the mods go.....
