It was the Foldscope that Manu Prakash and Jim ____ presented as a solution to the problem.

The Foldscope, a paper microscope they invented, achieved powerful ____, and cost less than a dollar in parts.

“The idea has been to make science ____ to everybody,” said Prakash.




While researching methods

After hearing ____ vision, Cybulski quickly recognized its potential and was eager to contribute.

For a microscope to function properly, it must ____ certain minimum requirements.

These include an eyepiece, a tube through ____ the viewer looks, and a lens for magnification.

The microscope must also have a component that can hold a specimen and move from side to ____ to explore different areas of the specimen.

On the ____ hand, a cheap microscope may not be able to deliver high performance.

____ and Cybulski experimented with various designs and materials in order to find a suitable compromise.

While many manufacturers might have settled for a middle ground between these two extremes, Prakash and Cybulski were determined to ____ a microscope that was both inexpensive and high-performing, while remaining accessible to all.

After drawing various designs on paper, Prakash and ____ realized that paper could be an excellent medium for their microscope.

It was cheap, easy to cut and ____ with precision, and widely available.

They faced many challenges during their attempts to ____ the perfect design.
