Today I had an opportunity to explore the Foldscope at IIT Mumbai. What we saw was amazing. I transparent worm from the water sample which was collected from the campus. The gut was clearly visible with the feed inside. Also, after coming home i announced that i have brought a microscope at home. All were surprised and at the same time curious. I took a drop of medu vada batter which was at home, mixed with water and added a tiny drop of blue water color to it. Add a drop from here on the glass slide and allowed it to dry. When still moist, i put a cello tape around it and mounted on the Foldscope. Beautiful oval shaped yeast cells were observed. I showed it to six children around. They all were very excited since for the first time they saw something under the microscope. I told them that these were the organisms responsible for making the medu vada soft and fluffy. They were all thrilled and all suggestions came up like let us see some fly or insect or catch a cockroach and observe. Amazing world seem through FOLDSCOPE. CHEERS Manu and Jim you have made a difference
