To address the problem, this year's Philippine James Dyson Award winner from the Philippines, Jeremy de Leon, created Make-roscope, an affordable, portable keychain microscope that works with smartphones and tablets, giving students easy access to the microscopic world. “What I have today is the first keychain microscope. It is very small, very light, it has no moving parts, only bending parts, and it is not made out of metal, this one is high-quality silicone,” he explains. “To make it work, just place it on top of the front camera of your smartphone or tablet then place the specimen on top using a slide and that’s it.”
In addition to the Make-roscope, Jeremy also introduced an all-in-one laboratory kit that includes specimen slides, pipettes, tweezers, and tubes, so users can quickly obtain samples.
