Foldscope Info

Foldscope is an optical microscope that can be assembled from simple components, including a sheet of paper and a lens. The larger things like insects, fabrics, pollens, and tissues can be also observed very easily under Foldscope.

Foldscope can also allow the observation of non-biological samples, such as particulates detrimental to air quality or the microscopic crystalline differences between real and fake medications.
