He looks like that brilliant scientist Reed Richards from Marvels Fantastic Four comics. This guy changed the world. He revolutionized the way students learn biology. I recently got my Foldscope and I am so happy with it especially when I put my phone camera on the lens.
Dear Manu, Jim & Nas Daily, Congrats at-first, you are doing the best contribution part for mankind around the universe. Through your invention, the rural people will be able to get easily one of the most important basic needs "Water" as pure for a drink. That's Amazing !!! I hope & wish to try to spread your achievement among the rural people indeed of our country, Bangladesh. So plz, inform me that how could I get this for those people? Thanks & Congrats again..
Just found this thanks to Flora Graham, Nature Briefing! I volunteer in a used book store that helps support our local library and intend to give one of these to every child (with parent's permission) who comes in.
you are not the intended buyer, the people who have real necessities might not even have an internet connection. So the extra money you spend is actually going to make it a tad bit cheaper for them, I hope this helped resolve your queries.
@@vasilistoxo not INDIA. Import charges are too much. Purchased from Flipkart and got a used product.. It's a bit difficult for Indians to access technology
Hello sir ...i purchased foldscope but i m unable to focus ...what should i do?? Even i tried many times i think there is a problem in lense plz suggest something
I have a chronic skin disease of over 15 years as a British born Indian who has never holidayed or strayed far from this region and believe it or not I have still received no medical support by the overhyped NHS or any other healthcare organisation here. I want to die because I suffer 247.
i got mine foldscope basic kit last week. took me 1 hour to assemble it, took me another 3 hours trying to see something.. it just too hard to see anything. more for kids.
If it costs less than a dollar, why are they only sold in a kit for $35 plus handling and shipping to the general public? Because someone us trying to get rich off of the common man, as with everything. I understand the concept if free enterprise, but I also know a thief when I see one. Don't buy this. Make one yourself. There are plans on the internet or a savvy person can just duplicate it on his own for a few bucks.
Ray R I guess u r R8 coz it would be far better if he told us how to make this at home!....or at least teach us the mechanism behind making this instrument 😅😩
Dear Ray, Thanks for your comment. If you would take the time to look closely at the website www.foldscope.com; the site offers individual Foldscope at a price of $1.75 (20 Foldscope for $35). This is the basic classroom kit. To actually sustain and support the effort to globally make Foldscope available to communities world wide (we have shipped 80,000 foldscope to communities in 130 countries, at no cost to individuals - shipping or otherwise). The purpose of deluxe kits is to enable field scientists to do even more with these tools (deluxe kits include cell separation tools, microfluidics, and dark field and phase contrast modules). That allows us to bring the costs of classrooms kits down to $1.75 in large scale. Off course, you have a choice to either support this mission or not. We publish all the work in publicly available websites (PLOS One and Arrive) which has all the details of building these instruments on your own. I only wish that you look at details and try to engage with the community. Be a mentor to someone - share your passion of science with someone and help bring science to people who don't have access to it. See our Foldscope community at microcosmos.foldscope.com. Best wishes. Manu
Hello Mr. Manu Prakash! I would like to get in touch with you/your team to seek input on bringing behaviour change in Sanitation and Hygiene (particularly through scientific learning) in rural conditions of Rajasthan, India. Thanks in advance!
Manu just summarized everything in perfect way 8:44 . Foldscope is about to make people start doing scientific exploration that has potential to pave the way to discover next breakthroughs in science.
Manu Prakash is a phenomenal man; the ultimate scientist. I would hope the Nobel Committee will recognize him for any number of its' prizes.
He looks like that brilliant scientist Reed Richards from Marvels Fantastic Four comics.

Manush is not only a genius, but has a huge heart. That heart and mind shine brightly in this video. Great work!
Nobel is must for him
Manu is a great scientist and one of my ideals. Map of India is not correctly shown and as perceived by the western countries.
Fabulous. World changing. Thank you.
Nobel prize worthy innovation
This is a novel idea ... It's economical n awesome for determining bacterial contamination etc. for a better understanding of microbe world.
Someone please gives this man a Nobel!
what a brilliant and generous man. i wish this was invented during my childhood
This is amazing!! I am a teacher in Zimbabwe and would like to buy some for my classes. Where can I buy these?
Very very exciting. Cannot wait to bring these to Syrian refugee children. The foldscope will captivate their imaginations.

Thanks for such a engineering marvel
Less than 1$ to build but sold at 10$ on their site.. Corporates everywhere!
Very good, but where to buy and cost?? In India
So they tell you about $1 microscope but sell it for $40. Its a price of a real used laboratory microscope.
you are not the intended buyer

Check the map of India and edit it with the real map, kindly change your view towards India, don't look India through other dominating countries.

I bought this from 18 august, but until now I haven't received my item, are you trying to fools me? Please reply the email
I got my item too. Buy it from Amazon.

You claim your foldscope is 50 cents and now $1 dollar but your website wants $30 dollars for just one. You are greedy liars!
Manu prakash are lying to me because i buy a foldscope but i didn't see a microorganisms
I am also buy forscope
THE PRIZE IS IN THE EXPERIENCE......💢
