What makes CellScope different from traditional microscopes?
CellScope uses Fourier Ptychography, a computational imaging technique that enhances resolution and expands the field of view without relying on complex optics. Unlike traditional microscopes, it utilizes a smartphone for image capture and processing, making high-quality microscopy affordable, portable, and accessible. It offers a cost-effective alternative to expensive, bulky tabletop microscopes while maintaining high performance and ease of use.
What Is The Difference Between CellScope Basic and CellScope Plus?
CellScope Basic is a cellphone-based microscope designed for general educational use, offering essential imaging capabilities at an affordable price. It features 35x magnification and a 2.5mm² field of view, making it an ideal starter microscope for students and beginners.
CellScope Plus enhances performance with advanced optics and Fourier Ptychography, a breakthrough imaging technique developed in collaboration with McMaster University. Based on award-winning research, it doubles the resolution and field of view of CellScope Basic, making it suitable for advanced research and professional applications.
Does CellScope require any special software or apps?
CellScope Basic works with any smartphone camera without requiring additional software.
CellScope Plus requires a dedicated application for advanced image analysis and Fourier Ptychography processing. This software is included at no additional cost with the purchase of CellScope Plus but is not included with CellScope Basic.
