Day 1 DIY Microscope

Task: create a microscope using a web-camera

Group: Sreemoyee, Gita

Process: Open up the web-camera using screwdrivers. Once the case is open, remove the lens and inverse it. By placing the lens at the sensor in the center of the chip, facing computer screen, view the RGB pixels. That way testing the microscope out. Afterwards, stick the lens permanently without damaging the lens or the censor. Once the lens is stuck, you need a light source to shine on the specimen placed under the lens. Record the images received by the microscope.
