These are the persons who joined the beta-project in Colombia.


 All of them thank Manu Prakash and his team for the Foldscope!


 As several other users around the world, most of them would like to get more foldscopes to teach biology, genetics and botany in public and private institutions in Colombia. Some of them are researchers that are using the foldscope as an easy-to-carry tool to work in the field.
