Portable Maker Microscope
The maker movement gives us a superpower: Use our tools to make new tools and with them explore new universes. Within the DIYBIO/biohacking concept, where we use the capabilities of the maker movement to develop projects that bring biology and biotechnology closer to the general public, I present a simple and inexpensive project that can be easily reproduced for all students in a classroom.
The Portable Maker Microscope is a new take on the cheap laser pointer lens MOC and allows the student (or grownups) to explore the micro-biome around using their mobile phone, with a convenient focus adjustment system and slide holder. very versatile and fun.
