I recently had the wonderful pleasure to visit Manu at his lab in Stanford.
I am on the left, Manu and his student are in the middle, and my research advisor Ebbe in on the right.
Here I am at home, assembling my first Foldscope. What fun!
After playing around a bit, we took a little pond water from outside to take a look. Here’s my first Foldscope image (many more to come!). This is just great!
Small ciliate organism from the backyard. I believe that this is probably a protozoan of some type, maybe a Stylonychia?
This one has a long stalk that attached to the sticky-tape. I made a video where you can see it moving to eat the littler organisms swimming by. I believe this might be a type of vorticella.
