  • @ProfessorSimms

    Our kits only came with two couplers and what appears to be the lens already attached to a coupler, which is fine.. except when using the Foldscope with the phone coupler, the lens/coupler keeps popping out, even though it is inserted properly. Please help. I have already distributed these to online lab students.

  • @BillRehbock
    @BillRehbock 3 года назад +17

    Foldscope team, two questions: 1) What's the purpose of the double-sided tape that goes between the coupler and the lens? 2) The magnetic flap has a hard time coupling to the stage magnet, especially with a glass slide inserted. Do you have any suggestion to make this work better? I assume it's required to hold the sample at a correct distance to the lens? By the way, this is an excellent video - the directions should have a link to it prominently at the beginning of the instructions.

    • @akshatislit5437
      @akshatislit5437 Год назад +1

      The purpose of double sided tape is to prevent the magnet from sticking to other magnets

      Please make sure you are separating the lens (circular piece) from the couplers (squares). They are magnetic pieces, a common mistake is people assume they have only 1-2 pieces, when in reality there are more, just all stuck together. If that doesn't solve the problem, please email sales@foldscope.com reporting the missing pieces so we can help you 🙏🏽
