A device that can convert a smartphone or tablet into a fluorescence microscope for less than US $50 is presented in a proof-of-principle study in Scientific Reports. The authors suggest that the ...

Add one more thing to the list of tasks your smartphone can perform. University of Houston researchers have released an open-source dataset offering instructions to people interested in building their ...

In a recent study published in Nature Communications, researchers developed a €350 smartphone-based microscope that can detect individual molecules. This brings super-resolution, research-grade ...

A cool project to build a high-power digital microscope recently showed up on the instructables website. Ten minutes and twenty dollars may be a little bit optimistic, but the interesting video makes ...

A lab accident helped University of Houston engineers discovered a way to test water through smartphones.

This fingertip-size microscope—which weighs a half-gram (0.02 oz.) and easily attaches to any smartphone camera lens with a nano suction pad—magnifies small objects up to 200 times. According to ...

A team of physicists and engineers at the University of Strathclyde, in Scotland, working with a colleague from the University of Glasgow, has developed the means for 3D printing a microscope, ...
