A curious little invention is being talked about.

有一個神奇的小裝置引起了眾人的關注

that many of these lifeforms are actually causes

not very far from here. This is from London.

實事上正在啜飲一杯致病怪獸湯

and it's taken hold in the developing countries

世界上依舊存在這些致病怪獸湯

只不過喝著他們的人大部分在開發中國家

that need to be tested because they are at risk

for different species of malarial infections.

Now it's actually very simple to put a face

只要拿一個染劑，例如說吖啶橙

再搭配顯微鏡的話，你就會發現

如果真是這樣的話 那為什麼住在肯亞的Alex

and Julie and Mary in Uganda still wait months

住在孟加拉的Fatima、來自孟買的Navjoot

to be able to diagnose why they are sick?

還有烏干達的Julie跟Mary 仍舊需要等上幾個月

才能夠被診斷出他們染上了這個疾病？

of the diagnostics is completely out of reach.

以顯微鏡作為診斷工具是完全不可能的

The problem lies with the microscope itself.

Even though the pinnacle of modern science,

這個問題主要是出自顯微鏡本身

research microscopes are not designed for field testing.

研究用顯微鏡並不是針對田野測試設計的

They are heavy, bulky, really hard to maintain,

This picture is Mahatma Gandhi in the '40s

using the exact same setup that we actually use today

這張照片是40年代，甘地正在他的聚會所

starting to think about this problem a lot.

We saw fungus growing on microscope lenses.

我們看了各式各項被捐贈去的器材

And we saw people who had a functional microscope

but just didn't know how to even turn it on.

我們也看見那些有一些人雖然有良好的顯微鏡

was actually the idea of what we call Foldscopes.

我們從那次旅途中滋生出一些想法

A Foldscope is a completely functional microscope,

a platform for fluorescence, bright-field,

一個摺紙式顯微鏡 具有完整的功能的顯微鏡

它是一個能夠把光學及螢光顯微技術

或是偏光顯微技術以及投影顯微法

I'm going to show you some examples here,

What you see here is all the possible components

to build a functional bright-field and fluorescence microscope.

你可以看到上面有各種可能的零件

可以用來做出具功能的 亮視野顯微鏡以及螢光顯微鏡

There is the optical stage, the illumination stage

that's actually embedded in the paper itself.

and just like you are playing like a toy,

你唯一需要做的是，把零件取下來

This paper has no instructions and no languages.

that tells you exactly how to fold that specific microscope.

取而代之的是一種附在上面的顏色密碼

When it's done, it looks something like this,

它會精準地告訴你 該如何組裝出一台顯微鏡

has all the functionalities of a standard microscope,

完成之後，你會拿到像這樣的東西

它具有標準的顯微鏡所有的功能

that's been optimized for over the years,

and many health workers are actually used to this.

很多健康相關工作者 也已經習慣這種樣本

but the standard stains all remain the same

不過所有染劑使用的方法還是一樣

之後有一個可以讓你聚焦的功能

that's built in paper itself that allows us to move

So what's really interesting about this object,
