Vystrihovali ste niekedy papierovú bábiku alebo ste skladali origami labuť? 
TED Fellow Manu Prakash vytvoril so svojím tímom papierový mikroskop, ktorý sa skladá a používa ľahko ako hračka. Živo podaná ukážka toho, ako by tento vynález mohol priniesť revolúciu v zdravotníctve rozvojových krajín... a skoro všetko premeniť na veselý experiment vlastnými rukami.

Mikroskop za 50 centov, ktorý zložíte ako origami

A simple sheet of folded paper can become a powerful microscope, costing just 50 cents to produce. This breakthrough tool brings critical diagnostic abilities to places where traditional microscopes are too expensive or impractical. In regions where over a billion people are at risk for diseases like malaria, such innovations take science out of the lab and into the hands of health workers and students. The rugged, portable design even survives a trip through the wash or a tumble from high floors.
