CellScope - Diagnosing malaria and creating animations with Nokia

The CellScope is very cool use of techonoly to help Doctors diagnose disease in remote areas using a cell phone camera and a portable microscope.

University of California, Berkley, Professor Daniel Fletcher and his team had an idea that now helps to save lives. They took a microscope, a Nokia N95, and put them together.
