About Us

Through the lens of a microscope, we become explorers of the microscopic world, charting the vast landscapes of the unseen.


Microscopes play a crucial role in education, revealing the intricacies of the micro-world and deepening our understanding of it. While many educational institutions have optical microscopes, the transformative advantages of digital microscopy remain elusive due to financial constraints. The leap from optical to digital brings a plethora of enhanced capabilities, from image capturing and analysis to real-time sharing and collaboration. Yet, the learning curve and costs associated with transitioning can be formidable. While traditional optical microscopes have their merits, they have seen very limited digitization over the decades, especially when compared to the accessibility of devices like smartphones, which have powerful computing with exceptional imaging.

At OpenOcular, we're bridging this gap.

Our expertise in smartphone adapter design has culminated in an innovative solution that combines the well established optical microscopy with the expansive capabilities of the digital smartphone. Using 3D printing technology, we're democratizing access to digital microscopy by drastically reducing upgrade costs and offering unparalleled customization.

Our commitment to education goes beyond technical innovation. Understanding the pivotal role of accessibility in education, we proudly offer our 3D print designs free of charge. We envision a world where educational aspirations aren't curtailed by financial barriers.

The OpenOcular smartphone adapter is more than a groundbreaking tool—it's the future of collaborative microscopy. By addressing the challenges of cost, usability, and functionality tied to traditional microscopes, we're ushering in a new era of digital microscopy, where user-centric design meets affordability, redefining the educational experience.
