I'm guessing this is fake. A laser pointer lens would let your iPhone see cells?

They’ve also added a clinical-grade cellphone spectroscope that might be able to measure some vital signs. > And with a few dollars and some patience, you can do the same to your own phone. (See instructions below.) > “It still amazes me how you can build near-research-grade instruments with cheap consumer electronics,” said physicist Sebastian Wachsmann-Hogiu of the University of California at Davis, leader of a study March 2 in PLoS ONE. “And with cellphones, you can record and transmit data anywhere. In rural or remote areas, you could get a diagnosis from a professional pathologist halfway around the world.”
