    OK...but we have been going "old school" with the bellows-n-lens to the DSLR route.

    It is a LOT cheaper, but definitely not as compact or as cool looking!

    With cellphones increasingly used for things like testing for infectious agents, swabbing for Ebola, or substituting for a colonoscope between taking phone calls, future generations will look back at them the same way we now view rats during the spread of bubonic plague.

    By the time you have bacteria or parasites in your bloodstream, you're going to be sick enough to need a hospital already. Septicemia is not a nice thing. And any hospital that could afford a brand-new prototype piece of equipment like this, plus all of the fluorescent markers, probably already has a microscope somewhere.

    @icelight: Except for the part about healthcare in developing countries, which is why this is being developed. There are places in the world where ambulances are bicycle-powered, and there is no electrical outlet for miles; but a course of treatment must be developed and initiated in situ.

    So are we going to start taking pictures of bacteria in any possible situation like we do of ourselves?

    Am I the only one that thinks cellphone attachments shouldn't weigh more/be larger in size than the actual phone? It just ends up looking ridiculous. I realize in this case it might be a cost saving item, but a mobile phone imo should be "mobile" and not clunkered down by bulk.

    What a great contribution to the health field. I wouldn't mind having one, but I'll bet it's expensive. Plus it would make quite a bulge in anyone's pocket.

    @PaddyDugan: Maybe some people will need a microscope in their pockets to make other things more visible....

    "After mounting it to the back of your Nikon DSLR"

    Ummmm Andrea, I'm no fancy pro photographer but, thinking either you or the picture is wrong somehow...

    @Thats Dr Bear to You: Well, it looks like something plugs into the back of the cam. Just my 2 cents.
