Everything attaches using magnets

Pointing your foldscope at the ceiling light can be hard. Instead of buying a dedicated foldscope brand light source, I made my own for cheaper

Everyone knows the lens of the foldscope is very small, at 0.5mm. It is a pain to look through it. I designed a double lens eyepiece that has a comfortable 22mm size. The eyepiece also doubles as a stereo microscope but without the stereoscopic view.

I like your use of the '3d drawing pen' to make the light housing, looking pretty neat.

What kind of performance are you getting out of your mod?
