Foldscope

[Steve Clarkson]

I ran across something interesting today.....a guy designed a microscope made almost entirely out of paper called Foldscope (.com) but it looks like only 10,000 beta testers were allowed. If anyone finds the CAD file online, please share.

Thier complete paper which includes sufficient detail to repeat the process is online at: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1403.1211v1.pdf
That doesn't include the cad file but the layout doesn't look super complex either. It does take a bit more than just the paper for the complete scope but not a lot.
