The Study of a Handheld Digital Microscope for Biomedical Applications

In recent years, biotechnology is a highly developed and popular research topic. Microorganism behavior measurement is an important method for biotechnology experiment. Microscope is often used to measure microorganism behavior. The disadvantages of using the tradition microscope are expensive, heavy when the magnification is too large it´s not easy to tracking microorganism. In this research, we focus on the development of a low-cost and convenient hand-held digital microscope platform. Based on digital microscope technology, we can observe and record any tiny object´s behavior and movement, like Paramecium behavior etc. The platform is not only low-cost, easy to operation, but it can also connect to a computer for further data processing and analysis it let the digital microscope can be used in many applications.
