Real-time cell counting on a microscope is tedious. Using still images makes it much easier, but microscope cameras are expensive. I made a microscope adapter for my iPhone 5 out of laser-cut acrylic and double-sided tape. It's not perfect, but works well enough.
The rubber feet are McMaster part #95495K68, and the acrylic is cut from 1/4" and 1/8" nominal thickness sheets. The layers are stuck together with 3M 468MP adhesive sheets, but Thermoweb Peel-n-Stick or double sided tape would work just as well.
