I'm a lecturer in the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) in Singapore. Although I've been trained as a Chemist, but my interest in photography has taken me to embark on a Photomicrography Project with a Biology-trained colleague. Together with a few of our students, we have produced images of the microscopic world and have put up two annual exhibition in our institution. Here's the facebook album of our exhibits: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.229241630578891.1073741829.100004791662049&type=1&l=ff618cd322

Hello! This is my first post and my first time trying out the foldscope. Yesterday, my colleague prepared some slides of chicken’s heart tissue (sectioned using the cryostat). The image on the right is taken under Nikon Ci-L microscope (400x magnification), while the one on the left is taken using foldscope (low magnification). Both images were taken using iphone6. I noticed that there is always some bluish light in the foldscope picture, and sometimes, it appears in the middle. Any possibility of getting rid of it?
The dark purple spots are the nuclei, which are slightly visible even on low magnification. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to get the focus using the high magnification lens.
