Low-cost smartphone fluorescence microscope developed

A device that can convert a smartphone or tablet into a fluorescence microscope for less than US $50 is presented in a proof-of-principle study in Scientific Reports. The authors suggest that the device—which they have named a glowscope—could be used to image cells, tissues, and organisms under low magnification in schools, science outreach settings, and some research labs.
