Nokia 1020 is nowadays a highly functional device. A scientist from Los Angeles, University of California, Uppsala University, and Sweden's Stockholm University improved an inexpensive 3D-printed phone connection. This can absolutely transform the camera of Nokia 1020 into a microscope.

Nokia 1020 didn't succeed on the market and didn't earn a great sensation on the mobile-world. However, it will certainly provide a considerable help in establishing an economical DNA sequencer.

The device sports a profound feature, which is the 41-megapixel camera. Its camera is fastened with Carl Zeiss optics. Apart from the camera feature, it also contains a fabulous Xenon flash to both and coupled with OIS.

Nokia 1020 was considered as one of the finest camera smartphone that was unveiled in 2013. The phablet was recently transformed into a digital microscope.

The health workers in the developing countries are now able to utilize the attachment as per Engadget. It tracks down any genetic variations that give rise to the disease without sending the specimens to the lab. The attachment is low-priced than the microscope use in the laboratories.

The procedure of testing starts with a tissue sample positioned in a small vessel. The optical attachment and the Nokia 1020 camera will capture the colorful fluorescence and the bright-field images of the specimen. Captured images and the information will then be input in an algorithm to foster the examination of DNA sequences and to look for a tissue mutation.

According to iDigitalTrends, the research workers asserted that their product is sufficient to detect any tiny extent of other mutations and cancer cells. It is really significant to have a molecular testing since not all can afford major hospitals, which can carry out the tests, Mats Nilsson one of the Mats leader said.

People will not run out if 1020 according to researchers. The attachment can invariably be fitted to function with new phablet as long as the camera of Nokia 1020 contains a grand magnification factor of 2.6x.
