Small and Rugged, for your next adventure
There’s something magical about seeing the invisible — and now you can, anywhere.
Eureka! Microscope turns the world into your playground for discovery: from the backyard to the beach, from a morning walk to a classroom adventure. It’s pocket-sized, worry-free, and built to keep up — waterproof, dustproof, and ready to explore all day on a single charge.
Because science doesn’t just happen in labs — it happens wherever you look closely enough.
Researcher tested quality and children tested usability
What if you could watch life’s smallest stories unfold — right in your hand?
With Eureka!, you can. Its precision (<1.6 μm resolution, 100–200× magnification) lets you meet the creatures that started it all: the tiny architects of Earth’s evolution, still thriving in a drop of water. You might find yourself asking the biggest questions — Where did life come from? What might it become?
Simply connect Eureka! to your phone or laptop via Wi-Fi and start exploring. Save what you see, record what moves, and share the beauty of the unseen world. Teachers can even link multiple microscopes to one Wi-Fi network, turning curiosity into a shared adventure.

Citizen Science
Inspect PCBs, optical components, or microfluidic chips. Analyze textures, flaws, or fibers at an engineering level.
Integrate image data into your analysis pipeline — from Python scripts to Raspberry Pi automation.
Use our API to control illumination, capture, and focus. Add polarization, AI focus, or 3D scanning — your microscope evolves with you.
Experiment with brightfield, darkfield, or polarized light — uncover interference and diffraction patterns from the comfort of your lab.
MULTIPLE VISUAL EFFECTS & ADDS-ON
See the same sample in completely new ways. With just a tap on the app, you can switch between bright, dark, and oblique lighting to reveal hidden details. Add a polarization filter set, and even a simple crystal transforms into a dazzling rainbow kaleidoscope.Curious why? It’s the same light phenomenon that inspires experiments in quantum physics - now something you could explore at your fingertips.
YOUR DISCOVERY COMPANION
With the app and an additional upgrade, you can:
- Get tips for interesting samples based on your location
- Record and Share you discoveries from time to time. Document climate change.
- Find your own nature.Each discoveries of a species unlock a element in evolution tree.
- Be with science, join the citizen science projects arranged by prof in university
