PhoneTube accommodates a wide range of smartphones including the larger “phablets” like the iPhone 11 Plus and latest Samsung Galaxy devices. The phone platform is fully adjustable and can fit any device—usually with the case still on.

PhoneTube Smartphone Adapter Instructions
- Connect the adapter for microscopes: Remove the current eyepiece of your microscope for mounting the PhoneTube eyepiece. In case your diameter of the tube is larger you can use the supplied coupler.
- Attach your phone: PhoneTube works with most regular phone cases, but you will need to remove “folio-style” cases. To insert your phone, extend the slider. Place your phone on the platform, making sure the bottom is touching the rubber base. Then release the slider. Your phone should now be secure and ready for imaging. If it feels a bit loose, you may need to make tension adjustments to keep the phone firmly in place.
- Align and shoot: Open your camera app. Position your phone over the eyepiece using the X- and Y-axis knobs. Finally, adjust the focus using the focuser on your optics and snap the image.
