Have you ever thought of turning your smartphone into a microscope? The young developer Thomas Larson undoubtedly did, and he also managed to realize this project. Already today, every owner of any smartphone can purchase one for a price of around 20 Euros (over 500 CZK) its special lens, thanks to which it is possible to achieve up to 30x zoom. For XNUMX Euros, it is then possible to purchase the entire package, which includes a glass and a light source along with the lens.
Any camera on a smartphone can be used for microscopy, but a camera with a resolution of at least 5 MPx is recommended and is focused by pressing lightly on the lens. To purchase this gadget, you need to support Thomas Larson on Kickstarter, which supports creative projects from developers from Canada, the US and the UK.
