I am a faculty at Stanford and run the Prakash Lab at Department of Bioengineering at Stanford University. Foldscope community is at the heart of our Frugal Science movement - and I can not tell you how proud I am of this community and grassroots movement.

We just finished running a foldscope training workshop for Exploratorium staff; allowing them to bring microscopy access to people outside the Exploratorium.
I am thrilled we got to play with a termite and finally imaged ciliates living in the gut. Enjoy the video – I will post more videos from field collected samples.
If you want to practice your skills of getting termite guts by dissection – you can watch the video
