Cell phone + Microscope = CellScope. Graduate students in the bioengineering lab at UC Berkeley have discovered a way to turn an ordinary cellphone in a microscope. The Cellscope can capture, organize and transmit images of blood cells, lesions and infections taken anywhere in world - a great advance for the developing world and medical imaging.
@FreddyDrifter Couldn't agree more, not to mention it's not like he invented either of those counterparts (Cell Phone, Microscope). Kind of ridiculous to think this is a great advance in medical imaging.

Useless crap - not practical and too expensive. Just build a USB type for $25 bucks that hooks to a laptop or PC. No future for the cellscope whatsoever.

Basically, if you turn it into a full medical imaging package it will be useless. Why? Because such things already exist.
However, if you manage to turn into a smaller and affordable phone-dependant microscope then it will have use, in East and West..
I can think of a use for it in SMD assembly at home, or taking photos of skin spots and sending them to my medic. And also for what the uses you shown in the video. It will only have any use if its cheap and small.

What a practical field tool. I would absolutely love to have one of these. In fact, if this were available on the Android market I would love to purchase and install it. I hope I see this available to students, lab technicians, lecturers and other academics some time soon in the future.
