I-Micro
DESCRIPTION O
F I- M IC R O
The iMicro is a small device clad in
a
semi-teardrop shape with a multi-
aspherical lens on the wider end of
the tool. According to the outfit, the
lens’ dedicated design, in conjunction
with the optical hardware already on
the phone, achieves high
magnification performance and low
aberration, ensuring it produces a
high resolution image with no
discernible distortion even on the
edges. When used, the device is able
to achieve 100x full optical
magnification, with the ability to
achieve up to 800x magnification
with digital zoom involved (exact
maximum magnification depends on
the phone model).
DESCRIPTION O

An integrated light guide on the

device captures the LED flash on
your phone and orients it to
directly illuminate whatever sample
you’re looking at, ensuring every
image you magnify is adequately
lit. Do note, you’ll have to place
the light guide over the flash, too,
so make sure you line up
everything correctly before using it.
Because of this, it requires that the
camera’s flash be situated at a
distance between 5mm and 16mm
away from the camera’s lens.
DESCRIPTION O

The iMicro snaps to the back of the
phone using one of those high-
suction nano-pads, which can stick
onto smooth non-porous surfaces
without the use of any adhesives
(no messy residue). That means, it
can stick properly to the back of the
phone whether it has a case or not,
so you don’t have to remove your
phone case in order to use the
microscope. Like other nano-pads, it
should retain its suction capability
for a very long time, requiring just a
little handwashing to clean any dirt
that accumulates whenever the
suction starts feeling a little weak.

Of course, the device comes with a

companion app (iOS and Android)
that’s equipped with the
microscope function, which is
optimized to take advantage of the
optical tools provided by the
physical hardware.
The app, by the way, takes
advantage of the autofocus in
modern phones, which should help
you take clearer images, regardless
of whatever items you’re looking
to get a magnified look at.

OrCam MyMe is a tiny

wearable AI device, that
instantly recognizes
colleagues, clients, and
business contacts, tells you
when you last saw them
and in what context, by
sending a notification to
your phone or smartwatch
through a free companion
app.

Power
Coffee
DESCRIPTION O

A coffee nap refers to drinking coffee before
sleeping for a short period of time. A coffee
power nap or caffeine power nap is when
you drink coffee or a caffeinated beverage
right before settling down for your nap. This
is thought to boost energy levels because of
its effect on adenosine, a chemical that
promotes sleep, When you feel tired,
adenosine circulates through your body in
high amounts. After you fall asleep,
adenosine levels begin to drop. Scientists
suspect that drinking coffee before a nap
may boost energy levels, as sleep helps your
body get rid of adenosine. In turn, caffeine
has to compete with less adenosine for the
receptors in your brainIn other words, sleep
may enhance the effects of coffee by
increasing the availability of receptors for
caffeine in your brain. That’s why a coffee
nap may increase energy levels more than
just drinking coffee or sleeping.
