Your Cell Phone can become a high magnification microscope!

cellular microscopeThis is a 60x microscope attachment for cell phones. It developed by the researchers at the University of California, Berkeley.
The CellScope comes in two powers: 5x, for diagnosing skin conditions, and 60x, which is enough magnification to diagnose malaria in a blood sample, or perform white blood cell counts for leukemia patients.

And the best part is, it's US$75 only!
