the eye) or are difficult to shoot (i.e. insects on the move) the ideal
solution are Macro and Macro plus; these lenses constitute the

However, such a magnification requires a smartphone support
(vibrations make free-hand observation very difficult) and a
transmitting light (as on the optical microscope).
In fact, the ideal solution for the Ultra lens is the associated Lab Kit,
which includes a light source and a phone support:
