We are using the foldscopes to try and make synthetic biology easier.  Not every lab, particularly high school labs, have expensive fluorescent microscopes to be able to detect fluorescent gene expression. We have been using the Prakash Labs,( http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0098781 )paper to assemble our own.  Is anyone else out there using foldscopes as fluorescent detectors?  We’d love to collaborate.
