SmartPhone Microscope

This ingenious idea was found in an article at http://www.instructables.com/id/10-Smartphone-to-digital-microscope-conversion/. The original designer created a fantastic concept, which this version replicates using 3D print. The stand can be printed alone, and you need a focus lens from a cheap laser pointer (easily available for $0.94 or even free). It fits perfectly in the hole provided. All parts are designed to print on any printer with minimal plastic usage. This method gives stunning results, so print it, use it for research, and donate it to schools to promote science interest. The designer provides default and iPhone 5/5s models; more versions may be added based on suggestions. Please, do not sell - just donate these microscopes with smiles!
