Researchers developed a new smartphone-based digital holographic microscope that enables precision 3D measurements. The highly portable and inexpensive microscope could help bring 3D measurement ...

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 ...

The project was carried out by researchers from the Universities of Göttingen and Münster, who set out to improve access to high-resolution microscopes that are typically too expensive and fragile for ...

PNNL’s 3D printed clip can show and send magnified images. Scientists working in the field often can’t carry heavy and costly equipment like microscopes, but these are often needed to quickly identify ...

To address this challenge in the present work, Dai et al. developed a low-cost handheld smartphone fluorescence microscope (HFSM) in a portable size. The HRSM used a single compact and multifunctional ...

The little picture: Microscopes are cool. There is something fascinating about looking at objects that you cannot normally see with your naked eye. Of course, carrying a microscope around for whenever ...

If the smartphone microscope is produced in large quantities, it could cost less than $500 per device, the researchers estimate, which is far less than the $10,000 for a typical microscope with ...
