I really never expected this to work… but who knew Foldscope seems to impress me everytime. Another amazing application of foldscope:
MCF-7 is a cell line that was first isolated in 1970 from the breast tissue of a 69-year old Caucasian woman.
It is a widely studied epithelial cancer cell line derived from breast adenocarcinoma, has characteristics of differentiated mammary epithelium. MCF7 cells can be used for detecting PI3K and MAPK involvment, along with easy detection of ERK and Akt phsophorylation. Also, via cytoplasmic estrogen receptors, these cells have the ability to process estradiol.
Here is how the cells looks under the normal inverted microscope in an ATC Lab

Viewed under Inverted Microscope Now coming back to foldscope, take a look at how they look under it….
A bit unclear so lets zoom in….
Under Foldscope… almost as good as the original…infact better
Until we meet again!!!
