Foldscope is the paper microscope that combines low-cost materials with precision optics. This innovation results in microscopes that are both high-quality and affordable, with a range of magnifications (50X-340X). From tiny microorganisms to larger samples like insects, plants, fabrics, and tissues, Foldscope can inspire kids to see beyond their own eyes wherever they may be! Foldscope can also attach to mobile phones for imaging and is very portable, durable, and waterproof. With that versatility, the possibilities are endless!
Look for the new projection microscope soon!
