Because of the pretty shitty weather I made my first attempt with the foldscope with an indoor plant. And I have to say that I’m very impressed! Amazing what this small paper thingy is capable of 🙂

 First I tried it just with sunlight and it was already pretty nice but for the pictures I used the light module.

 First it was a little difficult to focus with the high magnification lens but I think the picture turned out pretty fine 🙂 You can even divine the chloroplasts


 I really look forward to the next days with the foldscope always in my pocket
