The ioLight digital compound portable microscope at a glance
There's no faster way to see samples in the field at 400x magnification than with your ioLight digital compound portable microscope. It's the most portable, most convenient, highest-performing microscope that fits in your pocket. It connects wirelessly to your phone and streams images and video in real-time. Multiple users can connect simultaneously and look at the field of view, so collaboration with colleagues or sharing information with clients is easy. It runs on a single battery charge for your whole day in the field, and you can easily adjust the top or bottom illumination to work with the variable lighting conditions in the field.
Choose from 2 models:
- • 150x magnification with a 2mm field of view
- • 400x magnification with a 1mm field of view
Both models weigh about the same as a can of Coke, and fold down flat for easy carrying in your jacket pocket or the mesh side pocket of your backpack for easy access. It's ideal for:
- • Large animal vets or other scientists working with cows, horses, sheep, or other herd animals in the field
- • Agronomists and ecologists who don't want to cart as many samples back to the lab (and who would rather be in the field over the lab any day)
- • Science teachers and others in education who want better engagement and outcomes for students

The best portable microscope for work in the field - for every application
The ioLight portable digital compound microscope is the best way for you to perform lab-quality microscope observations in the field.
It’s a digital microscope with a maximum magnification of 400x that folds down into a portable configuration smaller than George Costanza’s wallet.
Scientists working in the Amazon, Antarctica, on Mt. Everest, and on Kazakhstan’s Kirghiz steppe use it as a powerful, lightweight, microscope that handles work in the field better than anything else.
How does an ioLight portable microscope work?
Your ioLight consists of two pieces:
- • The ioLight microscope
- • Your smartphone
Install the ioLight app on your phone, tablet, or laptop and stream the field of view in real-time to perform
your analysis in great detail in the field. It’s the most powerful and versatile field microscope for
scientists who work in nature.
Because the images you see are digital, it’s easy to collaborate with colleagues, share with stakeholders,
and catalog your findings with this best-in-class field microscope.
You can even walk away from your microscope to take care of other parts of your work while you capture time-lapse
images using the included ioLight app on your phone.
You don’t have to take samples back to your lab for analysis
The ioLight portable microscope is the fastest way for you to look at samples at 400x resolution in the field. There’s no need to take samples back to the lab.
Scientists in your field (and tons more) are already using them to make fieldwork faster, more impactful, and easier.
Vets, scientists, and owners are using ioLight microscopes to take better care of horses, cows, and other herd animals in the field
Performing fecal egg counts for deworming involves too many steps.
- • Sample collection
- • Sample cataloging
- • Sample transportation
- • Sample storage
That’s all before getting a look at the sample.
The whole process can be streamlined by collecting, analyzing, and treating in the field at that moment.
Animals can be selectively dewormed to avoid the negative impacts of mass deworming that all herd animal vets and owners are constantly grappling with.
Agronomists and ecologists can perform soil analysis and environmental assessments with ioLight microscopes at the source
ioLight portable microscopes are used by agronomists in the jungle, above the treeline, in alpine valleys, on the banks of raging rivers, on the golf course, in sheep pastures, and in endless other environments to test samples at the source and share their data easily with other colleagues working in the field.
They prep samples just like they would with their compound microscope in the lab, but they don’t have to transport and store samples with the same care. All that work can be done in the field (where they want to be anyway).
For science teachers and others in education, it’s a powerful and unique way to engage students and teach distance learners
Students live a life surrounded by screens. Nothing’s going to change that. So educators can embrace it to make science fun and engaging with a microscope that lives in the world students live in.
The ioLight portable microscope is:
- • Remarkably simple, and suitable for scientists of any age
- • Completely collaborative. Even if there’s only one ioLight in the classroom, everybody can see the field of view at the same time
- • An attention grabber - students would rather look at the screen or their phones than through an eyepiece
- • Built for fieldwork, and comes on field trips with your class more easily than any other microscope. You can actually show students how to do science in the field!
- • Built for remote collaboration - video learning can take place over Zoom, in Teams, or in your Google Classroom
Schools ordering ioLight microscopes from Microscope.com always get instant credit approval.
Do microscope fieldwork faster and easier than you ever thought possible
There’s no other portable microscope on the market that gives you the image quality, portability, and freedom to work in the field.
ioLight is:
- • The most portable
- • The most convenient
- • The most intuitive
...and the most valuable microscope for fieldwork.
Cut the work you do collecting, preparing, transporting, and storing samples entirely. Stick to the fun part - looking at samples, making your observations, and discovering what you suspected (or learning things you never expected) in the field.
Free yourself, your colleagues, your students to do awesome science in the field with the best portable microscope for fieldwork in the world.
