With a drone, we get to see the world from a bird’s eye view.

You see, when we first heard about it, we immediately ordered them from the US!
More like a box of them, haha!
To us, this is an amazing invention that will allow us (our kids especially!) to see the world from a whole new perspective!
…
Now, guess what the above is?
It’s a zoomed-in version of a … fern!
Yes, the plant!
…
How about this one below?
Believe it or not, it’s a head louse.
Yes, that creepy crawly thingy that sucks blood off your scalp! *YIKES*
The red part in the photo is the ‘blood’ flowing inside that tiny head louse’s body!
(You can take photos and videos using your own mobile phone, by putting the phone lens on to the foldscope lens!)
Oh btw, I’ve had people asking me more about this Foldscope thing.
Here are some commonly asked questions:
– Is this easy to assemble?
Well, Wilson took about 20-30 mins to put this paper microscope together, and he referred to the printed manual AND Youtube video tutorials.
(As for me, just looking at the manual already turned me off =)
– How many times can we use this microscope? Just once?
Nooooo … you can use it again and again and again.
For just US$1, this is such an amazing invention, if you ask me!
– So, if I want one, does it cost me a dollar?
Well, buying anything comes with delivery costs. So, don’t forget that you’d need to pay for that too when you go and get yours =)
– Where can I get one for myself?
Go online! More and more online shops are selling these!
So, … go ahead and have fun yeah!!
And, be prepared to enter the amazing micro world!
