 With a blue LED, a diffuser, and a filter, fluorescence may be possible, which will be especially important for the cheek cell comet assays, if no colored alternative to SYBR-Safe is found.  None of these components come for free, of course.  Even the 140X borosilicate lenses were 1 USD each (including shipping, at least), for the simplest bright field version of the Foldscope.<br>

 With the oFoldscopes at GOSH2018, we hope to make more progress on DIY epifluor - we have more filters to try, also from the dis-mantled sequencer!!
