Lab Out Loud

For Lab Out Loud's final episode of the season, hosts Brian Bartel and Dale Basler talk with Exo Labs CTO and co-founder, Jeff Stewart.  As a new startup in science education, Exo Labs recently released their Focus microscope camera and iPad App. Replacing the eyepiece on any standard microscope, the Focus camera streams a high quality image to the iPad screen where it can be recorded and shared.  Jeff talks to Lab Out Loud about the Focus camera, its use in classrooms and engineering applications, and how you can help support their Kickstarter effort.
