Doctor on call, LITERALLY!

Due to the fact that there are many areas in the world are medically under served but well served by advanced cellular networks, researchers at the University of California Berkeley have created the Cellscope. The Cellscope is a "microscope that attaches to a camera-equipped cell phone and produces two kinds of imaging, called brightfield and fluorescence microscopy. The CellScope can snap magnified pictures of disease samples and transmit them to medical labs across the country or around the world." The cellscope will allow medically under served areas to have access to the top doctors in the world, and overall it will help save lives!
