Lensless Microscope

Convert a digital camera into a lensless microscope by placing tiny objects directly on the glass cover of the imager chip. A stereo microscope is made by illuminating the subject with two LEDs synchronized to the frame rate of a video imager chip. The pixels are about 8 microns square, producing an effective magnification of about x25.

can it be done with any digital camera ?

[teazer999999]

i use tissue paper. just squish a piece into a ball and blot it against the imager to soak up the liquid. or use a q-tip. or blow some compressed air
