The Foldscope is one of the latest inventions in the field of microscopy. It is a small, handheld, paper-based microscope with a light-emitting diode (LED) light source. It can be held up to the eye for visualization of slides; however we have to secure it to the camera lens of a smart phone by using the magnetic ring supplied along with the kit. An attempt was made to probe the utility of the Foldscope in Veterinary diagnosis as part of a project. Different kinds clinical samples submitted to Veterinary College Hospital during the period 2018-19 were visualized using Foldscope. |
