Cell Phone Microscope

Good thing cell phone cameras have progressed beyond the VGA quality models back in the early days, as multi-megapixel monsters comparable to older dedicated digital cameras are now a norm, making this accessory – the cell phone microscope, a viable purchase. It provides you with an imprompty microscope that will be able to view even red and white blood cells individually, and this is no child’s play since it was developed by a research team led by Dan Fletcher, professor of bioengineering, at the University of California, Berkeley. Guess medical personnel in faraway places can rely on this for an instant microscope, solving the problem of scarcity of medical equipment in developing countries. The cell phone microscope will apparently cost around $100 if it was mass-manufactured.
