Engineers have developed an optical accessory that turns an ordinary camera phone into a high-resolution microscope. The device is accurate to one hundredth of a millimeter. Among those who will ...
It’s relatively easy to understand how optical microscopes work at low magnifications: one lens magnifies an image, the next magnifies the already-magnified image, and so on until it reaches the eye ...
The lens-free microscope is physically simple (see demonstrator photo) and consists of a light source and a pin-hole, both mounted ~50mm above an image sensor – in this case a re-purposed 10Mpixel ...
