UCLA researchers have developed a lens-free microscope that can be used to detect the presence of cancer or other cell-level abnormalities with the same accuracy as larger and more expensive ...

Well, better than a conventional microscope, as you might expect, since I am writing about their work. But, only by a factor of just over two (~100nm), which, is, in some ways, quite disappointing.

Scientists at UCLA have created a lens-free microscope that relies on a silicon chip found in smartphones and digital cameras. You can’t use it to snap a selfie, but it could help scientists ...

Here’s an oldie but a goodie. [RunnerPack] stumbled upon an article from 2001 about building a stereo microscope from a pair of binoculars and a camera lens. With a ring light attached to the… ...

1. Drop a small amount of PDMS onto the slide. 2. Bake at 70 degrees Celsius to harden it and create a base. 3. Afterwards, drop another dollop of PDMS onto the base and flip the slide over. 4 ...

The UH lens is not the first stick-on smartphone microscope lens, with a low-magnification polymer lens known as the "Micro Phone Lens" launching via Kickstarter in 2013.

He designed a 3D-printed microscope lens adapter that you can find on Thingiverse. Recently, [Micael Widell] tried it out with a microscope lens and you can see the results in the video below.
