Microscope is an important diagnostic tool used widely in Science & Technology. The widespread use of this tool can be seen in Medicine, Nuclear Sciences, and Education etc. Several attempts are being carried out to make microscopes easy to handle and user friendly. One such approach is the Mobile Recording Microscope which can be built using a simple smart phone. Unlike conventional microscopes, the mobile recording microscope uses the camera integrated in smart phones to record images. This reduces the efforts needed to store and transfer the recorded data. The replacement of wired medium and computer for recording images reduces the cost, space and difficulties incurred in use of microscopic devices. The hand-held smart phone for recording images assures anywhere and anytime use of the microscope. These advantages favour common man to use it independently without the assistance of a skilled person.
