Journal
Experiments with Sachiko's Blood
simple blood swipe. pierced with a sterile syringe and wiped onto a glass slide. 2x higher magnification should easily be possible be putting the lens further away. still clearly the red blood cells can be seen.
Human epithelial cells
By scratching inside of your mouth/cheek you can obtain some of your own epithelial cells. you can use some tissue, a toothbrish or a wipe-thingy. just wipe them onto a glass slide. some of them roll up, while other then adhere to the glass slide and can easily be seen with the diy microscope.
Protozoa found in the moss sample from Hagen
The sample has been taken in december 2010 and left humid in my room for 2 months. looooots of little animals...

PS3 Eye hack
PS3 eye is a very fast camera (100fps) and there is an official SDK available for developing custom software.
Read instructions here: PS3 Eye hack.
pd - microscope
Pd (aka Pure Data) is a real-time graphical programming environment for audio, video, and graphical processing.
we developed open source software for microscopy and motion detection:
check some of the code on the Pd_microscope
