Foldscope - an affordable alternative to microscope. Was invented by Manu Prakash the idea came in 2011 while Prakash was at a field station in Thailand. He remarked that the station had a very expensive microscope but everyone was afraid to use it because it was very fragile and worth more than most people's salaries. This Foldscope comes in the form of a kit because he wanted to create something called IKEA effect. From attaching your mobile phone’s camera to take photos of microscopic things. To projecting their images on wall by just attaching a light source to it (torch). you can do everything with it and it's also water proof The Foldscope's lens provides a magnification of 140x and 2-micron resolution. This is powerful enough to examine blood cells, bacteria, and single-celled organisms. It is available on Amazon and will cost around ₹300 to ₹600 only. Making it the perfect gift for Biology mate and curious kids/people. Thank You
