Day 2
Today we took our foldscope to the histology lab to explore and unravel it’s use there.
Before we start we’d like to inform you that our research on foldscope will mostly be restricted to medical science.
Head of the department of Anatomy, Dr.S K Deshpande was too patient to hear to everything that we told him about foldscope. He was too curious to know how it works. He also gave us some prepared slides for experimenting. Thank you sir!
Let’s begin;
So here, we have compared the images taken through a foldscope to the standard image given in a textbook of histology.
Fallopian tube(Textbook)
Fallopian tube(Foldscope)
Fallopian tube-2(Foldscope)
Fallopian tube-3 (Foldscope)
Lymph node (Textbook)
Lymph node-1 (Foldscope)
Lymph node-2 (Foldscope)
Longitudinal section of Cardiac muscle (Textbook)
Cardiac muscle-1 (Foldscope)
Cardiac muscle-2 (Foldscope)
Cardiac muscle-3 (Foldscope)
Cardiac muscle-4 (Foldscope)
Cardiac muscle-5 (Foldscope) (@Manu: Just following what you told-‘click more images’😋)
Membrane of fallopian tube ( Foldscope)
Tell us about our observations ! Will come up with more interesting slides tomorrow.
The lesson we got to learn today is that we need to magnify more to see and study the minute structures. In order to magnify, we need a lens which has higher power. To try solving this problem we are going to test foldscope with the lenses we ordered online.(link is given in the previous post)
“Happy Foldscope-ing”
