I recently had the wonderful pleasure to visit Manu at his lab in Stanford.

Here I am at home, assembling my first Foldscope.  What fun!

First time with the foldscope

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.
