Cheap DIY rig turns your smartphone into a microscope

Macro photography offers a glimpse into the unseen world that some of us don’t even know exist. Unfortunately, it often requires pricey equipment in order to get super close to the subject we want to photograph.

That’s why Instructable member Yoshinok came up with an inexpensive DIY contraption that allows users to take pictures with up to 175x magnification using only with their smartphone – thus making it a cheap alternative for costly microscopes.

Here’s a short video that shows you how to make one, as well as the tools/parts you need for this rig.

Looks pretty easy right? And the best part here is that it won’t cost an arm and a leg to build it. For more a detailed look on how to build it or to see Yoshinok’s other works, you can head over to source link below.

After a while, you realize that they have probably saved your
life a couple of times. While practical, not everyone is in good enough shape
to start riding a bike everywhere. During certain times of the year,
biking to work is a great option. Market penetration strategy, according to Ansoff, carries the lowest risk in comparison to the other strategies.

While female family members will tend to the basic needs of the girl, the
male members of the family are not allowed to
see or interact with her during this time. In fact, the Imperial
Treasury of the Soviet Union contains a 400-carat red spinel given at one time to Catharine the Great.
So pity the Uzbeks and Kyrgyz as they peer suspiciously at one another during a sudden time of scarcity and insecurity.

Its like you read my thoughts! You seem to grasp a lot about this, like you wrote the ebook in it or something.
I think that you could do with some % to drive the message house a little
bit, however other than that, this is excellent blog.
An excellent read. I’ll certainly be back.
