## ✅ Get an adapter

Before you start, you should get [**an optical adapter**](https://www.ilabcam.com/products/labcam-ultra-for-iphone) to connect your phone to the microscope.

![The adapter is compatible with 99% types of lab microscopes](https://357738419-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-legacy-files/o/assets%2F-MJNQBgYLwFTXBIbt1TJ%2F-MJT94EorZZkTmbMdJOE%2F-MJTDbOd7elcqqAnrxiN%2Fimage.png?alt=media\&token=5c43a50a-1c2a-4ac6-a1ed-237e2ae6c870)

Attach your iPhone to the eyepiece of a microscope. Put the sample, turn on the light, set the lens focus.

Now you know the basics, but there is so much more to explore! AI-automation, LIS integration, team management, and even more.

A nice idea would be to learn how to automate CBC test
