By using existing communication infrastructure and expanding the capability of existing mobile phone technology, mobile
phone microscopy systems could enable greater access to high - quality health care by allowing rapid, on - or off - site microscopic evaluation of patient samples.
As an example, mobile
phone microscopy as demonstrated here could provide a rapid, point - of - care method for monitoring TB patients.
However, our goal was to demonstrate the feasibility of creating an entirely integrated and portable mobile
phone microscopy system.

Hell told the Nobel press conference on 8 October by
phone from Germany that he began working on the problem when he became bored by the conventional problems of
microscopy and wondered if this seemingly unbreakable limit could be breached.
We believe that by integrating these technologies, healthcare workers in remote regions equipped with
microscopy - enabled mobile
phones could take diagnostic images of patient samples (blood, sputum, etc.), perform on - board image analysis and / or wirelessly transmit those images off - site for medical record keeping, epidemic tracking, or further analysis by clinical experts.
Our initial device development efforts have been aimed at using the digital imaging capabilities, mobile connectivity, and computational power of a camera - enabled mobile
phone to capture high - resolution
microscopy images and perform subsequent image transmission or analysis.
It has been previously demonstrated that a camera - enabled mobile
phone can be used to capture images from the eyepiece of a standard microscope [11] and that
microscopy images can be wirelessly transmitted for subsequent analysis [12].
