While the foldscope has proven great for
phytoplankton sampling, the size range of our marine zooplankton (and the
meroplankton in particular) has been much larger than the size best observable
by foldscopes.

But that doesn’t stop us from taking super magnified shots of them & then stitching the individual shots together to make a detailed composite of the animal! We have attempted this with 1mm long Lucifer, 0.5 mm zoeas, and some gorgeous (but big 10mm) shrimp!
Here is what a Lucifer shrimp looks like through multiple foldscope lenses 😀
