Dirt Accumulation on Piano White Keys vs Black Keys under the Foldscope
I investigated the differences in substances left behind on the white keys versus the black keys of a piano! Piano keys collect dirt over time, making it desirable to clean them regularly. It is clearer to see when the white keys get dirty than when the black keys get dirty. Thus, if the foldscope images…
Microscopic image of Deodorant
The chemical composition of deodorant has varied over the years and is a well-studied field. The purposes of deodorant can be the reduction of sweating, the elimination of bad odors (masked by good odors), and even the elimination of bacteria. Alcohol-only-based deodorants have the possibility to induce sweating and therefore several more complex chemicals (often…

Observaciones de plantas
Hola soy Rocío, vivo en Xalapa Veracruz y me estoy capacitando en Join the Node y esta es la observación que hice. Lo que creí que se podría ver desde los pétalos de la flor eran unas células en forma de bolitas, como si fueran cristales. Miramos una hoja de trébol, cuando pudimos verla notamos…
Visualizing an eggshell membrane
In this post, I want to discuss my findings from observing the membrane of an eggshell using the Foldscope. The primary function of the membrane in the egg is to prevent invasions by microorganisms. In recent times, however, eggshell membranes have become a popular dietary supplement because of its high concentration of protein, primarily fibrous…
‘Hair’ Goes Nothing!
Intro Growing up, I always had short hair. It was barely ever longer than a classic buzz cut. I swam all the way through college, so having shorter hair was just easier since it was always getting exposed to absurd amounts of chlorine. Cue COVID, graduating college and finishing my swim career, and living with…
Observing Micro-Bubbles
I was curious to see if the Lipid Shell Micro-Bubbles we’ve been using in our lab as a contrast agent for Optical Coherence Tomography will be visible with the Foldscope. The Micro-Bubbles I examined had a C3F8 gas core, wrapped in a lipid shell, and their diameter ranged from 0.6 micron to 1.2 micron. Approximately…
A closer look at Fasciated Haworthia
This is the plant we will be imaging: The Haworthia succulent is akin to aloe vera. It has a similar spine-like structure, which is filled with a jelly-like substance. To image this plant, the following materials were used: The leaf, shown in the image above, was prepared on a glass slide. The glass slide was…

Arthropoda and Nature Journaling
We are working on Nature Journaling of Arthropoda and today I found some white insects on my beach plum leaves. One larger white insect had a long proboscis that I could see very well under the Foldscope. Another organism which was very tiny and could not be seen by the naked eye, looked like a…
Hair Follicle
I wanted to see how my hair looked like using the Foldscope, particularly as I have not cut it over the past year in half. I wanted to observe if there were noticeable differences between different strands and thought it would be a good exercise for familiarizing myself with the Foldscope. It was interesting to…
Roasted seaweed snack
Presented are the methods and experimentally obtained images of a roasted seaweed snack under magnification via a Foldscope. This exercise was performed as part of Stanford’s BIOE 301C: Diagnostics Devices Lab. Methods. A Foldscope was obtained and assembled using the typical procedure. To hold the sample, the paper slides with rectangular windows (Fig. 1) was…
