Afton, NY Posts: 25 | Cell Phone / iPod / iPad DIY Photo-Microscope (aka Smart-D-Scope) A couple of weeks back I mentioned using cell phones, iPod Touch, and iPads with a $1.00 lens as a way to take dissecting microscope-like quality pictures. I have been playing around with them and have built several different models that work. I have also used them with my high school students. (My school owns enough iPod Touch devices that I can supply one for each lab group.) Students have taken to them like trout take to a hex hatch! Even students who are not normally engaged like the idea that something they have can take close up pictures of things that make ordinary stuff look scary. New! I have put directions that I have written on how to build your own Smart-D-Scope for less than $8.00 at; http://edengelman.com/smartDscope/smartDscope16P.pdf I have posted some of my pictures on Flickr https://www.flickr.com/photos/107447394@N07/sets/72157641718340454/ This is no April fool’s joke!
