A 2 hour family science workshop exploring the local river in Braunton, North Devon, UK. We took samples from the river and using our Foldscopes and conventional microscopes, we explored life close up. We made our Foldscopes in the workshop so I was on hand to help and everyone took their Foldscope kit home so they could continue to explore microscopic life with their children.

Nature Detectives with Foldscope, UK

First tests with the foldscope attached to my tablet. I found attaching the foldscope fiddly and hard to keep still – does anyone have any recommendations to improve this?


 These are all prepared slides of a variety of things – fish scale, feathers, bee’s eye, plant, insect wing, leg &amp; proboscis.
