We’ve covered smartphone florescence spectroscopy before, and we also have a post on building your own Lego spectrometer. In a similar vein check out a dedicated spectrophotometer detailed in a paper by Vasco Pereira and Bill Hosker. Maybe. The paper covers a 3D-printed version and teases a Lego constructed version. Either way, you have a […]

DIY Fluorescence Smartphone Microscopy
We’ve covered several portable microscopy setups before, including Foldscope, wooden scope, and our favorite these little UV magnifiers. We like the latter so much because it is capable of both white light, and UV light, and we found we were capable of doing a little bit of fluorescence microscopy on it. That’s where a 2017 […]
