Absolutely brilliant, this is a good idea being used properly for once.
Lets hope they dont develop it too much and lose its objectivity;
Its brilliant simply because it is low-tech.
Turning a cell phone into a microscope
December 18, 2009 | Length: 00:02:15
Cell phone + Microscope = CellScope. Graduate students in the bioengineering lab at UC Berkeley have discovered a way to turn an ordinary cellphone in a microscope. The Cellscope can capture, organize and transmit images of blood cells, lesions and infections taken anywhere in world - a great advance for the developing world and medical imaging.

RE: Turning a cell phone into a microscope
that's an awesome invention! I remember one article found by http://filecraft.com shared files site, stating that it could be an interesting home diagnostic tool. Point the USB widget at the patient, get the results, maybe print them out and take them to the local doc to get a jumpstart on diagnosis.
GPs could even have more advanced versions for both preliminary assessments and to create a global baseline database. we'll see what will come of it, but I'm sure this idea will quickly find further development.

RE: Turning a cell phone into a microscope
A cell phone can suddenly be a microscope?! That's an iPhone app that needs to happen! I'm constantly amazed by technology's advancements. The way we can use our phones to do just about anything we want is a strange sort of interactive intelligence that would make our ancestors marvel. This is a very impressive advancement.

Turning a cell phone into a microscope
This seems like a risky weather modification possibility...Creating even a small change in the natural convection of the earths temperature via oceans currents drastically affects life over the whole planet..
I would think a filter half way between the earth and sun could be controlled in the summer period to tweak power balancethe heat absorption.. a disk rotating at a rate of 1 cycle every two years, with a controlled variable diameter to increase or lessen the heating effect..

>> My name is David Breslar. I'm a graduate student at UC Berkeley and I work on portable medical diagnostic devices.
Music We've designed what we call the CellScope. We've taken a standard cell phone with a cell phone camera built in and we designed a microscope around that. The idea being that if you can use the cell phone camera as an imaging platform to image, take microscopic images of clinical samples, then you have a portable field microscopic for use into these diagnostics. In the CellScope we use fluorescents to look at samples. And fluorescent microscopy is a new technique that makes what you're looking at sort of look like stars in the night. Because of that contrast, because you can just count these stars, it's much easier to look at samples and diagnose diseases. The significance of the CellScope is that in many rural areas in developing world countries have very little health infrastructure, very little power infrastructure. But you've got cell phone coverage that pretty much blankets the globe. So if you can make a portable system that can be transported into these areas to do clinical diagnostics without the need for a doctor on-site, a whole clinic on-site, then you're really enabling health care in these areas. What we have here is an actual blood smear with malaria inserted in the end of the CellScope device. And focus on your sample and you can see the various cells. These are actually red blood cells from a person's blood sample, and we can capture this image and either save it for medical records or transmit it for analysis. Or do automated data analysis. A vision for the future of the CellScope is to make it a fully integrated system that isn't just a microscope and a cell phone together, but an actual entire mobile platform for medical imaging.
