Hats off to the team that made that. It’s very surprising that such a film can be made with a mobile phone.

While it is certainly true that the microscope played its part in producing these images, I’d like to point out that the optics on the Nokia N8 are by Carl Zeiss and are the best ever incorporated into a cameraphone.

Check out this Flickr set for photos taken with no microscope attached: http://www.flickr.com/photos/dinning/sets/72157624971870802/

(disclosure: I work for Nokia, but this is still true!)

“They said Nokia commissioned them to make the film in celebration of CellScope’s potential to improve medicine in the developing world.”

vice

“They said Nokia commissioned them to help them sell their new N8 mobile phone which was released on 1 Oct ”

Certainly it was a very enjoyable piece of work and I hope more adverts go this way in the future.

FWIW I believe just about any mobile phone could have been used for this given that the internal camera sensor was supplimented by the microscope’s optics; and it’s the optics that generally the biggest let down for mobile phones as cameras.
