[0023] The portable microscope of this embodiment has a simple structure, is easy to use, and is low in cost. It meets the needs of the majority of patients with dust mite allergies to explore the morphology and size of dust mites, as well as the exploration and research of the dust mite content in the home environment and work environment and the patients' own dust mite carrying conditions. It enhances patients' understanding of dust mites, allows patients to better receive health education from doctors and nurses, and enhances the cleanliness of home and work environments. At the same time, it can also be equipped with conventional glass slides for the observation of various microorganisms, animal and plant structures. It is suitable for use by middle and primary school students, and provides young people with an experimental tool to improve their hands-on ability and cultivate a sense of exploration and knowledge. Specifically, the portable microscope of this embodiment combines the power supply assembly, the light source assembly 20, the stage assembly 40, the objective lens module 50, and the eyepiece module 60 through the lens barrel 10. This embodiment takes the observation board 70 as a counting board as an example. The user takes 1g or 1mm by cleaning the dust in the bedroom or a certain area. 3Dust is dissolved in a certain amount of water to form a dust mite solution, which is then injected into a counting board. The counting board is inserted into the stage assembly 40 and fixed with a snap. The user turns on the power supply assembly to power on the light source assembly 20 and adjusts the aperture assembly 30, the stage assembly 40 and the objective lens module 50 to adjust the field of view, thereby observing the shape and number of dust mites in the counting board. After the observation is completed, the counting board is pressed to pop out, which facilitates the removal of the counting board.

[0024] The stage assembly 40 described in this embodiment includes a stage body 41 and a first adjustment member 42 and a second adjustment member 43 provided on the stage body 41 and movably connected to the lens barrel 10; the first adjustment member 42 is used to adjust the forward and backward movement of the stage body 41, that is, to adjust the movement of the stage body 41 along the x-axis direction, and the second adjustment member 43 is used to adjust the left and right movement of the stage body 41, that is, to adjust the movement of the stage body 41 along the y-axis direction, thereby moving the counting plate placed on the stage body 41 to adjust the observation field of the microscope.

[0025] In this embodiment, the first adjustment member 42 and the second adjustment member 43 are both screw-nut pairs, and the adjustment nuts of the screw-nut pairs are located outside the lens barrel 10, so that the user can adjust the x-axis and y-axis movements of the stage body 41 by rotating the adjustment nuts.

[0026] In other embodiments, the first adjusting member 42 and the second adjusting member 43 may also be configured as gear transmission components, and the movement of the stage body 41 in the x-axis direction and the y-axis direction is achieved by twisting the gears.

[0027] Since the counting board of the present embodiment is snap-fitted and pop-up-fitted with the stage body 41, the counting board of the present embodiment is provided with a snap-fit, and the stage body 41 is provided with a push-pop-up slot that matches the snap-fit. When it is necessary to observe the dust mites on the counting board, the counting board is inserted into the stage body 41, and the snap-fit ​​is inserted into the push-pop-up slot to be fixed. When it is necessary to take out the counting board, the counting board is pressed again to move the counting board toward the bottom of the push-pop-up slot until the snap-fit ​​on the counting board goes deep into the push-pop-up slot and the reset spring in the push-pop-up slot is contracted by force, and then the counting board is released. Under the reset elastic force of the reset spring, the counting board is popped out, and the counting board is taken out. The snap-fit ​​and pop-up design not only integrates the tablet clamp with the stage, but also facilitates the removal of the counting board.
