Pathologist needs help to use iPhone 14 Pro Max to take microscopic pictures through microscope eyepiece.

As suggested by @iphonepathologist I have tried Portrait mode on my Iphone 14 Pro

Max for taking microscopic photos through the eye piece of my microscope, I was

only able to take some decent 400X photos, low and medium power were imposible.

I am a pathologist and through the years have taken several thousands (22,000

+) pictures of interesting cases with prior models of iPhones (with the camara

in "normal" mode), the last one an 11 Pro. With a litlle practice it was very easy to take pictures through the eyepiece, some sligth edditing and they were ready for presentations and even publications. With the iPhone 14 Pro Max I can not focus or regulate the camera lens apperture for microscopic pictures, it is crazy. I actually updated the iPhone expecting, among other things, better microscopic pictures. I know of several (I suspect hundreds)

pathologist arround the world that use their iPhones at work every day.

Please help me out to "crack" this issue.


Thank you

iPhone 14 Pro Max

Fantastic! low and medium power pictures can be done now, after activating macro mode, some color distorsion present needs editing. High power (400X) shots are a challenge, they are still better in normal or portrait mode.

Thanks a lot Owen!

Hi. I’m really glad you posted this. My SIL is an optometrist and is having to ask her staff to take photos for her after upgrading to the 14 pro. I thought it was interesting and went to see if I could help her fix it.


can you help me help her by explaining to me like I’m a sixth grader how you’re able to make it work?


i don’t have a 14 pro to try it on so I’m just going to send this to her to try. I am also in science and am familiar with how a microscope works though.


thanks so much for the help.
