The new patent is called "smartphone microscope technology" and was filed during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Apart from photography, the tech could also be used to analyze a photo to check the subject's hygiene status.

It uses 2 cameras. One of them is the capture the image while the other one is for its microscopic mode. At 0.5mm, the camera could do 20 to 400x magnification—which is microscope level.
