Was the lens ready prior to YC Hacks?
I am not trying to take away from what they built, but I am genuinely curious what all was done prior to YC Hacks, since building the lens there seems like a challenge in itself.
- lbotos 12y agoIt was described as a "cheap lens" and was very much electrically taped on. I assume it was tested prior to the hackathon though. The biggest accomplishment was this was a solo hacker. It was very well done for the time allotted.
- imkevinxu 12y agoFrom what I remember it was an iPhone with the flash light turned on face down on the table and then a toilet paper roll on top of it with a blood sample in one of those rectangular glass things on top of the toilet paper roll with another iPhone examining it. Please correct me if I'm wrong
- ttandon 12y agoHere's what I used: http://www.edmundoptics.com/optics/optical-lenses/ball-condenser-lenses/n-bk7-ball-lenses/2041 http://www.edmundoptics.com/optics/optical-lenses/ball-conde... Basically, I took a piece of rubber, poked a hole in it, and fit the lens in. It took a couple of hours to get the positioning right but after that it worked like a charm :)
