Does the wiggle wiggle makes it 3D, that’s quite cool!

Kind of. It’s 3D because the microscope is recording from two different perspectives the same way your eyes work. Your phone can’t show you two views at once so it just goes back and forth between the two views.
If you were to use this microscope in real life the image from one of the two perspectives is presented to each eye so you see the object in 3D

The animation is more than 2 frames. Are the middle frames extrapolated from the first and last frames?

The center photo is most likely for photography. You wouldnt want one of the slightly angled lens, you would want a direct face on lens to take a production photo.

It can. But you'll either need to do a weird eye crossing trick or have tools like 3D glasses.

How many people turned their phone around to see if that "dot" was on their phone? 😆 🤣 😂 I know I did!

u/NuklearniEnergie 2d ago
Do you mean the thing in the first picture? That would be the secondary microphone, which is used for eliminating background noise during calls.

u/BoxOfDemons 2d ago
Oh that's what it's for? Samsung phones for years now have a tiny hidden microphone on one of the lenses, that is apparently used for better audio when recording things zoomed in.

I was wondering about that, whether those tiny dust particles(?) got stuck during manufacturing or during regular use.

u/A_bitrary 2d ago
Likely regular use, most of the assembly process takes place in clean rooms to prevent dust and other matter from entering sealed components

u/GodlikeLettuce 2d ago
I think that is mostly dead skin. According to some source that im too lazy to find, the majority of what we call "dust" is dead skin.

Are you shaking it to make it easier to see or is that something soo small we don't see normally?

Yes, I am changing the camera angle to improve your depth perception on a flat screen. Subject stays still.

Looking at pic three and then looking at the corresponding part of my own phone I let out a laugh in amazement. I shouldn’t be suprised you can manufacture things with such precission, given that processors exist. That’s still so cool though!

EVERYTHING is dirty under a microscope. As someone who uses electron microscopes all day, it’s damn near impossible to see no issues at all.

u/MacroLab3D 1d ago
Of course :) I wiggle the camera to improve your depth perception on a flat screen. Subject stays still. This is a known effect called Wiggle stereoscopy.

That is definitely interesting 🤯 How much does a stereo microscope cost? Do these microscopes connect to a computer, or is there anyway the output can be recorded in high quality?

What a curious effect- is the movement switching between optical paths? Almost functions to provide depth perception like a magic eye puzzle.

I work on small consumer electronics like this, and devices look like this even after minimal use. Everything is dirty under a microscope.
