CUBE foldscope workshop December 2021

[KiranyadavR (Kiran Yadav)]

As CUBists, we have always believed that Science is not just limited to Laboratory, apparatuses and material sophistication and we have proved this with our “CUBE HOME LAB MOVEMENT” that Sophistication is required in our Mind​:smiley: So to make science more reachable to people we are organizing a foldscope Workshop!

Some of the fold scopes have already been send to active CUBists and we will be sharing more fold scopes to other CUBists after the workshop and we shall continue the series of workshop to explore foldscope- a pocket microscope.

CUBE FOLDSCOPE WORKSHOP ON 12th DECEMBER 2021

TIMING: 6-8 PM in continuation of CUBE chatShaala session

Algae producing Oxygen Through Foldscope 2021-12-15T22:17:00Z (CLICK ON THE BLUE WORDS TO WATCH THE VIDEO)

Algae producing Oxygen . I took some sample from my Algae-Moina Culture(Algae-Moina Culture Video) and placed it on a glass slide and put a coverslip.

I had Insect Dissection-box at home which had a slide and coverslips. I placed that under the foldscope and took this video

Expectations:- I was expecting to observe filamentous algae when observed from foldscope. I mean long thread-like green structures like that.

Used mobile torchlight for lighting and place it on the floor and placed the foldscope on that so that it will be stable and I’ll get a clear image.

The Magnification of the foldscope is 140x.

We can also see how the oxygen bubbles are trapped by the algae against the walls of the container
