Foldscope
The Foldscope is an incredibly affordable flat-pack microscope that’s mostly made of paper. It comes with a lens that provides 140x magnification – on par with four-figure microscopes. The $20 kit comes with prepared and blank slides, an LED lamp and more.
Crowdfunded projects pose a degree of risk for buyers, so be sure to do your research and fully read the seller's detailed description and production plans before plunking down your hard-earned money.
