Blips3 - Extra thin macro lenses for any smartphone

The Next Generation of DIPLE phone microscopes is almost ready! Check out the last innovations!
2 months ago – Fri, Jun 19, 2026 at 06:13:58 AM

Dear backer,

Some time ago you supported our Kickstarter project for the Blips3 lenses for smartphone. We have moved forward and we have focused our efforts toward our tech with highest optical power.As you are a curious person, we think that you should have a look at the new KS project for the next generation of our DIPLE technology to see deeper and deeper in the microworld. 

THERE ARE NEW UNEXPECTED AND VERY EFFECTIVE DEVELOPMENTS.
The next generation of DIPLE product family (DIPLE-E and DIPLE-P) is the result of a cascade of innovations triggered by a small technical change recently introduced in the manufacturing process of DIPLE systems. It has been a sort of “butterfly effect” in the last developments of this technology.

What’s new compared to the current DIPLE models?

LOTS of things.

The new design has components that drastically improve the easiness of use of the system, even at high magnification.

The completely new X-Y mechanical shifting stage allows a faster, longer and easier scan of the samples.

New protective carrying cases, to improve portability. A laboratory on the move.

New lenses, to cover all the magnification range from macro to micro. Five lenses, from 10x to 1500x, with optical resolution up to 0.7micrometers.

We always strive to keep our transformative products affordable, and this has not changed! Product prices start from 34€/~39US$ only! 🤑

Dear backer of the Blips3 project,

this is a kind reminder to inform you that the our new, successful campaign for DIPLE2 will end in few hours. Check it out, if you missed it!

What's new? A LOT of things to better see the Microscopic World!

• use DIPLE2 and your smartphone for dark-field microscopy:

• use DIPLE2 for polarized light microscopy:

• use DIPLE2 to observe opaque samples, in reflected light:

• You can observe opaque samples, in reflected light, out of the stage, too.

Do not forget to spread the word about this project among your contacts 😉 ! This is another wonderful way to support the DIPLE2 project!

For those of you interested in batch orders for Science classes, please contact us. We'll be in time for the back-to-school period, after the deliveries to all the KS backers. 

Any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out, we are here to listen to your suggestions and questions.

Thanks for your interest in our technology!

Take a look at our Instagram account (feed, reels and stories) or our YouTube channel to see examples of use for your next DIPLE2.

Thanks again!

Exciting news! The Kickstarter campaign for DIPLE 2 will be live next week!

Fulfillment time!

Dear Backer,

This month of December has been super busy for our team. We had to face an unprecedent peak of sales for all the products of our startup, days of stop due to Covid/flu infections, and the shipment of all your pledges as initially planned. Now, all the pledges of backers who’ve filled the survey on Backerkit have been shipped; most of them have been delivered, too.

So, if you are among the few backers who have to fill the survey, do not forget to do it! We have just sent reminder emails with the direct links to the survey. The remaining pledges will be shipped within January.

Thanks for your support and best wishes for a wonderful 2023!
