This is part of a Medical Tricorder (link below) for the 2015 Hack-a-day prize.
This microscope has turned into a recent obsession to try and make the cheapest and most powerful microscope possible for medical use. The goal is to image blood cells.

Greetings all to the first log post of my DIY microscope project. This sprouted out of my other project Medical Picorder so take a look at that too if your interested in medical type stuff.
What I am trying to do is create a cheap yet powerful microscope for analyzing cells. Specifically blood cells. I will then take this "microscope" and with the use of a raspberry pi, perform image analysis. This will help identify things like parasites, or foreign particles less painstakingly than by hand.
