In continuation with the [series on theme microscopy](https://metastudio.org/t/do-it-youself-diy-microscopy/5142), this week we will be unpacking details to make a microscope using a web-camera and also explore a simple method to capture magnified image using the smartphone.

> Lights, Camera, Action: How to convert your Smartphone into MicroScope for less than a $1? Webinar [Link](https://webinar.hbcse.tifr.res.in/b/rs7-7hj-une) at 3:30 pm on Thursday, Nov 19. Do you know, you can attach a lens from a low-cost laser pointer or non-functional CD-DVD player and upgrade your smartphone into a digital microscope? The idea is inspired from many such attempts by community members to design a simple setup to convert your smartphone into the microscope ( see design by [Yoshinok](https://www.instructables.com/10-Smartphone-to-digital-microscope-conversion/) and recently by [Singh, M.](https://metastudio.org/t/jugaad-camera-for-close-up-shots/3832) and [Kiran](https://metastudio.org/t/diy-phone-microscope-jugaad-to-see-tiny-objects/4185) ).

> Building a Microscope using a Webcam You do not need to know any electronics to do this project A microscope magnifies small objects to explore the beautiful world of microorganisms or anything that cannot be seen by our naked eyes. It will make us realize that a big world exists even in a drop of pond water. So, can we build a microscope ourselves? Yes! Of-course you can build your own microscope, using which you can also take pictures and videos. The picture shown below is one of the very lo…

That’s nice!
I have tried this as well.
As I didn’t make it for the microscopy session today, I would like to know that is this video a part of the session (like did we have a discussion on taking video like this or something like that)?
What are the highlights of today’s microscopy session?

We in starting discuss about over focus point and we have make some data in tabular form
Like for my example of my eye I can focus from minimum distance of about 9cm for right eye and for left eye it is 9.5cm without spects and with spects it is 11cm.
But due to my spects number is in minus the distance is increasing but in @GN sir case it is decreasing.
And then we discuss about lights, camera, action blog of @ravi312.
And then in end we discuss how to find that similar with webcam CCD sensor and lens.
So, by that I learned how to focus and this video shows the implementation of the process which was explain by @jtd sir and @GN sir
