"Microscope on a chip" could lead to mobile magnification
Scientists from the Californian Institute of Technology have developed a high resolution microscope which is small enough to fit on a fingertip.
It uses “microfluidics” with a grid of CCD sensors — as used in digital cameras — to allow the liquid being analysed to be viewed in high magnification.

Dubbed the ‘Nandemo Microscope’, it’ll allow you to get your perve on and provide you with close-up views of all those parts of your body you always wanted to check out.
