Foldscope is by Manu Prakash and Jim sebulski who is a PhD student in Stanford university's Manu lab. The company was inspired by field trips around the world, where they constantly encountered heavy, broken microscopes, or no microscopes at all. Because conventional microscopes are often expensive or cumbersome, they recognized the ubiquity of the problem and the need for low-cost, revolutionary solutions. Foldscope was created to address accessibility issues in science. What started as a simple idea has grown into a company that provides powerful low-cost tools to communities around the world, all to help advance education, health and opportunity! They believe that the most important part of the company is not the tools themselves, but the communities that use them. By producing low-cost tools, they aim to break down price barriers between people & curiosity and excitement about scientific exploration.
