Foldscope is the ultra affordable, paper microscope that you assemble yourself. Invented a few years ago by Manu Prakash and Jim Cybulski from Stanford University. To be extremely portable, durable, and to give optical quality similar to conventional research microscopes (magnification of 140X and 2 micron resolution), Foldscope brings hands-on microscopy to new places! This small workshop cum demonstration of Foldscope to you and your group/students which shall facilitate on site microscopy anywhere even outside the laboratory.
