Researchers have developed an add-on to a mobile phone that can take detailed images and analyse them to diagnose diseases such as tuberculosis.
The CellScope works as a so-called fluorescence microscope that can identify the markers of disease.
It is hoped the device will be useful in the developing world, where such medical diagnostics are rare but mobile ownership and coverage are common.
The research is published in the free-access journal PLoS ONE.
