Assuming that your microphone has an appropriately wired 3.5mm audio plug, you may be able to connect the microphone to your iPad10 using an Apple USB-C to 3.5mm Headphone Adapter:


  • USB-C to 3.5mm Headphone Jack Adapter

While this adapter is primarily intended to connect wired headphones or earbuds (with microphone) to your iPad, a correctly wired microphone can be connected. Here is a diagram of commonly found 3.5mm plugs; the microphone must be wired to the CTIA/Apple standard:

There is no native process to do that.


If you have an App installed that supports the microscope, and a Microscope that supports iPads, then follow the steps in its own user guide for how to connect it.

Some attach over the the iPad camera, others may use the USB-C port.

Each microscope would be different.

At least provide the make and model of the microscope and someone may be able to advise.
