For the most of us, mobile microscopy or cellscope isn’t a familiar term, for we seldom hear of such technical terminology that defines a device developed to convert your cellphone lens into a powerful magnifying device. The attachment dubbed the Cellscope is handier for the devloped world but, we still cannot ignore the advent of this technology in the general sense. The Cellscope can be attached to handheld devices or netbooks and once clubbed, it can then wirelessly relay the data to hospitals and medical centres. It puts to rest the issue of limited accessibility of microscopes in situtaions of disease outbreaks. It can be a handy device in places like Ugnada, Ethopia, where thousands of people die for the lack of confirmation of diseases. Just anyone can attach it to the phone and quickly transmit the info thereby saving lives with timely interception.
