The quality assessment and timely detection of fruit ripeness are crucial for optimizing harvest schedules, ensuring product freshness, and minimizing post-harvest losses. This abstract presents a smart detection system designed to accurately determine fruit ripeness using non-invasive sensing techniques. To evaluate the system's performance, experiments are conducted using different types of fruits at varying ripeness stages. The results demonstrate high accuracy and reliability in fruit ripeness prediction, with minimal false positives or negatives. It eliminates the need for manual inspection, reducing labour costs and potential subjective bias. It also provides non-destructive testing, allowing fruits to remain intact for further processing or sale. Furthermore, the system can be integrated into automated sorting and packaging processes, enabling efficient sorting based on ripeness and improving overall supply chain management.

“…Since agriculture is the most important dominant occupation in a wide variety of countries, the crop productivity gets affected every year by disease invasion, changing weather conditions, and other factors. Foldscope was found to be an excellent instrument for studying pollen (Singh et al, 2019), viability and stomata (Kwon et al, 2016), seed viability, and visualization of cells were demonstrated making it easier to identify foreign varieties, mites, or fungal diseases in leaves, seed samples at the spot in farmers' fields (Dev & Nischal, 2019; Maheswari et al, 2019). As a result, early detection of diseases protects plants while also increasing output dramatically.…”

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.
