Foldscope: Microscopy for everyone

[@THESHOMROM]

Manu Prakash is a phenomenal man; the ultimate scientist. I would hope the Nobel Committee will recognize him for any number of its' prizes.

[@LegionOfTheMany]

He looks like that brilliant scientist Reed Richards from Marvels Fantastic Four comics. This guy changed the world. He revolutionized the way students learn biology. I recently got my Foldscope and I am so happy with it especially when I put my phone camera on the lens.

[@bastianschoell7228]

Manush is not only a genius, but has a huge heart. That heart and mind shine brightly in this video. Great work!

[@wizardofthewoods]

Fabulous. World changing. Thank you.

[@RanjithKumar-re6vy]

[@subhomazumder7559]

Nobel prize worthy innovation

[@MohammedAbbasPLUS]

Manu just summarized everything in perfect way 8:44 . Foldscope is about to make people start doing scientific exploration that has potential to pave the way to discover next breakthroughs in science.

[@ckenner5618]

Very very exciting. Cannot wait to bring these to Syrian refugee children. The foldscope will captivate their imaginations.

[@adityadimaz5282]

I think this video is good and can add insight

[@TuanTran-dn8ej]

Someone please gives this man a Nobel!

[@jkd77433]

Just found this thanks to Flora Graham, Nature Briefing! I volunteer in a used book store that helps support our local library and intend to give one of these to every child (with parent's permission) who comes in.

[@syedimran1570]

Dear Manu, Jim & Nas Daily, Congrats at-first, you are doing the best contribution part for mankind around the universe. Through your invention, the rural people will be able to get easily one of the most important basic needs "Water" as pure for a drink. That's Amazing !!! I hope & wish to try to spread your achievement among the rural people indeed of our country, Bangladesh. So plz, inform me that how could I get this for those people? Thanks & Congrats again..

[@akhileshkumar-mu8gb]

Manu is a great scientist and one of my ideals. Map of India is not correctly shown and as perceived by the western countries.

[@domywriting3382]

Nice work! You are changing world!

[@asif.chem64]

This is a novel idea ... It's economical n awesome for determining bacterial contamination etc. for a better understanding of microbe world.

[@kunalgarg7633]

[@vasilistoxo]

Here you go www.foldscope.com/order/

[@komaravoluraju]

@@vasilistoxo not INDIA. Import charges are too much. Purchased from Flipkart and got a used product.. It's a bit difficult for Indians to access technology

[@LegionOfTheMany]

@@komaravoluraju Try Amazon. It is a trusted site.

[@sivakumar-oh2if]

If i have this micro scope it hard to sleep bcz of bacteria around us but i want one micro scope

[@Barnamala]

[@ansonca1776]

Amazing

[@khanskitchenchronicles]

Had seen u on Ted talk with SRK

[@michaelangelo2701]

i got mine foldscope basic kit last week. took me 1 hour to assemble it, took me another 3 hours trying to see something.. it just too hard to see anything. more for kids.

[@ChaosInMyHead]

Well operating real microscopes is as tough as this...

[@GamePlayShare]

So they tell you about $1 microscope but sell it for $40. Its a price of a real used laboratory microscope.

[@mayaout7808]

you are not the intended buyer

[@omshree2448]

you are not the intended buyer, the people who have real necessities might not even have an internet connection. So the extra money you spend is actually going to make it a tad bit cheaper for them, I hope this helped resolve your queries.

[@athusgamingandarts5789]

It's still expensive in India it's 500 rupees sir

[@SagarWani1991]

the map of india is wrong. please correct it

[@ip3931]

I have a chronic skin disease of over 15 years as a British born Indian who has never holidayed or strayed far from this region and believe it or not I have still received no medical support by the overhyped NHS or any other healthcare organisation here. I want to die because I suffer 247.

[@madhavgaglani]

Check the map of India and edit it with the real map, kindly change your view towards India, don't look India through other dominating countries.

[@SonaliSenguptasengupso41]

[@LegionOfTheMany]

I got my item too. Buy it from Amazon.

[@Kristoffer261]

*Nas daily*

[@noisy99_]

It should be called Foldoscope instead of Foldscope lol.

[@meatzilla8330]

Manu prakash are lying to me because i buy a foldscope but i didn't see a microorganisms

[@m.senthilnathan5970]

I am also buy forscope

[@HappyHands.]

You claim your foldscope is 50 cents and now $1 dollar but your website wants $30 dollars for just one. You are greedy liars!

[@rayr1444]

If it costs less than a dollar, why are they only sold in a kit for $35 plus handling and shipping to the general public? Because someone us trying to get rich off of the common man, as with everything. I understand the concept if free enterprise, but I also know a thief when I see one. Don't buy this. Make one yourself. There are plans on the internet or a savvy person can just duplicate it on his own for a few bucks.

[@suparnobanerjee3018]

Ray R I guess u r R8 coz it would be far better if he told us how to make this at home!....or at least teach us the mechanism behind making this instrument 😅😩

[@bodhisjourney6417]

His paper is already public and mechanism disclosed. Go ahead, and do it.: arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1403/1403.1211.pdf

[@mprakash44]

Dear Ray, Thanks for your comment. If you would take the time to look closely at the website www.foldscope.com; the site offers individual Foldscope at a price of $1.75 (20 Foldscope for $35). This is the basic classroom kit. To actually sustain and support the effort to globally make Foldscope available to communities world wide (we have shipped 80,000 foldscope to communities in 130 countries, at no cost to individuals - shipping or otherwise). The purpose of deluxe kits is to enable field scientists to do even more with these tools (deluxe kits include cell separation tools, microfluidics, and dark field and phase contrast modules). That allows us to bring the costs of classrooms kits down to $1.75 in large scale. Off course, you have a choice to either support this mission or not. We publish all the work in publicly available websites (PLOS One and Arrive) which has all the details of building these instruments on your own. I only wish that you look at details and try to engage with the community. Be a mentor to someone - share your passion of science with someone and help bring science to people who don't have access to it. See our Foldscope community at microcosmos.foldscope.com. Best wishes. Manu

Hello Mr. Manu Prakash! I would like to get in touch with you/your team to seek input on bringing behaviour change in Sanitation and Hygiene (particularly through scientific learning) in rural conditions of Rajasthan, India. Thanks in advance!
