Just by attaching it to the lens of the camera, a seal type lens that can easily use a smartphone as a magnifying glass "Blips"ButKickstarter ProjectAbout five months after the end of the arrival I got to the GIGAZINE editorial department. I tried using whatever easy-to-use magnifying lens just pasted as a seal.

"Lab Kit" containing kit set of Blips arrived.


When opening the box of the main body, a set of Blips set was contained in the sponge.


On the back of the lid is written how to use Blips.


This is Blips lens.


There were three types of lenses that could be pasted with tape inside.


Two lenses written "macro" ...


Combination of one lens with "micro" written.


Acrylic parts ......


By combining it into such a shape, I use it as an observation platform. Although a protective seal was affixed to the acrylic board, it was able to be assembled without peeling off the protective seal.


You can set your smartphone to stand at a slanted incision.


Six pieces of sample preparation are prepared for observation in the Blips set.


Thin light ...


Put it under the observation platform and illuminate the subject.


· I tried using
I will use blips to change the smartphone's camera to a magnifying glass.


Just paste the lens seal of blips onto the smartphone camera OK. The seal is designed to be repacked as many times as you like, and it also supports protruding lenses like the iPhone 7.


First let's expand the character in the red frame using 'macro lens' which can be magnified by 10 times.


Adjusting the distance to the one you want to enlarge, you could quickly find a place to focus.


Next I will try "micro lens" which can expand to higher magnification.


When using a micro lens, it is very difficult to support your smartphone with your hand and adjust the focus, so use the attached observation stand.


You can see that the iPhone 7 is placed on the observation table and it has a slight angle. For smartphones with a camera lens at the top of the back panel like the iPhone 7, it seems difficult to balance and fix.


When I take my hand off the iPhone 7, I do not have any focus at all.


So, when adjusting the angle of the smartphone by hand, we found a place to focus on perfectly like this.


This is a sample of "skin".


If you use the included light here ...


With this feeling further focus will be narrowed down.


If you use a workbench, smartphones with a camera lens in the center like Nexus 5X are easier to handle.


When I photographed the legs of a bee with Nexus 5X, I was able to check the details in detail like this.


I tried taking various pictures using the macro lens again. This is a 10 yen coin "Byodoin Phoenix Hall"

You can check up to the dot with micro lens.


In addition, blips are a seal type that can be stretched a number of times, and it is also possible to paste it on the back panel of the smartphone when not in use because the lens is not so obstructive.


The seal lens "blips" which makes it easy to use a smartphone as a magnifying glass is set for the "Basic Kit" of micro lens & macro lens by $ 29.9 (about 3200 yen), a set of lenses and workbenches used in the review, preparation, etc. "Lab Kit" is 59.9 dollars (about 6400 yen), and reservations are accepted on the following pages.
