The Fresnel lens meets nano tech! As well as phone cameras, this has applications in many fields. How about a flexible film in eye cataract surgery instead of the rigid lenses?

Level 9

I recently ordered an add on lens for my phone that will transform the camera into a 100x-800x microscope. It is about the size of a 10 cent or 1 shilling coin.
It cost me about $50 US.

Cheaper to use the coin, eh? 🤣😂

@Petter I don't know because I will not receive it for a few months or know if it may result in award winning / saleable photographs.

Are they going to upgrade my 10 year old phone? No? I bet they expect me to go out and buy their new $1200 phone. I don't think so..
