“…Kaur et al, 2020, investigated the use of foldscopes in the diagnosis of dental plaque and urinary infections (Hasandka et al, 2021). Foldscope was a powerful tool for discovering and studying cancer‐causing cells in their early stages (Jadhav & Patil, 2021; Santonicco et al, 2022). Early detection of cervical cancer has been confirmed in recent investigations employing foldscope observation and obviously, early detection would overcome the pathological manifestations of the disease (Chikkala & Racheal, 2020; Moya‐Salazar et al, 2016) as shown in Figure 2b.…”

“…Hence, for clinical diagnostic applications, foldscope is not a good choice, rather foldscope will be more convenient and perfect for more than 2‐μm samples (Bal et al, 2019). Foldscope observation resulted in the presence or absence of bacteria in quantitative terms, but the qualitative assessment was not achievable, according to Prakash et al, 2020.…”

“…Foldscope, on the other hand, raises public awareness and aids in the identification of microorganisms that are harmful to human health (Abirami & Maghimaa, 2019; Prakash et al, 2020). However, Prusty & Kumar, 2021, developed a new screening and drug susceptibility study on Candida albicans , a prominent fungal infection in human that causes candidiasis, utilizing foldscope microscopy to examine morphological changes and snap images.…”

Microscope is a device used for the visualization of tiny objects which are not visible to the naked eye. Traditional microscopes have been crucial for the advancement of contemporary science and medicine. Recent advancements in the field of microscopy have fueled its exponential growth rate. However, due to their expensive cost and complicated structure, modern microscopes remain inaccessible to the majority of the public. Nonetheless, the foldscope paper microscope has made it possible for anyone to explore and understand the world of microbes and organisms. In this review, we have listed foldscope-based research projects in various domains, as well as their key properties when compared to traditional research microscopes. In addition, we have briefly explored the impact of a foldscope microscope on public health, clinical diagnostics, forensic science, agriculture, basic science, developmental biology, and education. Moreover, the major drawbacks of paper microscopes and the current steps being taken to upgrade foldscope and its features are discussed in this review. Finally, we have concluded with our perspective that the microscope may be updated to imitate the advancement of a conventional microscope. Research Highlights• The foldscope, a low-cost instrument for studying the microscopic world.• Foldscope applications were compared to conventional microscopes in many sectors.• The foldscope microscope's existing limitations and potential prospects are highlighted.
